NGINX Cookbook

by Derek DeJonghe

NGINX is one of the most widely used web servers available today, in part because of itscapabilities as a load balancer and reverse proxy server for HTTP and other network protocols. This revised cookbook provides easy-to-follow examples of real-world problems in application delivery. The practical recipes will help you set up and use either the open source or commercial offering to solve problems in various use cases.

For professionals who understand modern web architectures, such as n-tier or microservice designs and common web protocols such as TCP and HTTP, these recipes provide proven solutions for security and software load balancing and for monitoring and maintaining NGINX's application delivery platform. You'll also explore advanced features of both NGINX and NGINX Plus, the free and licensed versions of this server.

Pretty well laid out and informative, while being short. Good reference book and easy to find the section that you need.

This is the perfect technical book: short chapters with problem/solution paragraphs that goes straight to the point. You'll read it fast and it will be an effective learning. Not the kind of 500 pages expert book, you have all what you need to start to work straight away.

Sẽ hay hơn nếu các use case được gán nhãn hoặc phân section nginx plus or nginx (normal)

It would be better if each use case has label or tag to describe nginx plus or nginx (and some other fields)

This books gives an overall view of the things you can achieve with nginx with examples of each of those things.
I found it quite useful to get a better understanding of nginx.

Коротенькая книга для тех, кто любит бумажные книги - вместо чтения офф. документации, можно прочитать книгу и найти парочку новых идей.

Отдельного упоминания стоит русское издание от ДМК - переводили в гугл.транслейте 100%. Читать невозможно. Вероятно, сам автор оригинала наливал много воды в текст, а вода + гугл.транслейт = жесть. Спасает, что все достаточно очевидно и можно "понять что имел в виду автор".
