*wow* it looks like to come more and more popular in the non russian world ;-))
Only because it's 10x better at what it does than the alternatives...
I have thought similar, that was the reason why I have decide to translate the doc without knowlage of russian ;-)))
A good product sells him self ;-)
Exactly. The beauty of open source is that the best code wins (eventually), because it all costs the same. The English documentation almost comes for free at this point; a few people have realized that Nginx is best of breed and have gone through the trouble to translate the documentation because it's a lot easier than fixing the code in the alternatives...
Nginx was my last choice, but I'm glad I was disappointed with the rest of them because it seems to be very well designed and extremely high performance. Millions of (proxied) hits a day without a single hitch, and I have gone through three binary upgrades with 0 downtime!
Yep that's one of the *nicest*/*best*/*greatest*/... feature of nginx.
BTW: Just for my curious where have you heard about nginx, I just ask because I have posted on the cherokee list the link and was supprised that not many people know about nginx?!
The only reason I found out about it is that a friend of mine mentioned it when I was looking for a high performance reverse HTTP proxy server. I'm not entirely sure where he found out about it. It turns out that I ended up using it first, had a great experience with it, and now he is also using it in production. At the time that he mentioned it, he hadn't tried it yet.
The convincing factor for me to try out nginx, despite the fact that it was very obscure, was that it had a FreeBSD port available and that's my deployment platform. I also didn't have any problems compiling it on my workstation (Mac OS X). If it wasn't in FreeBSD ports or if it was difficult to compile in Mac OS X then it's likely that I'd have never tried it.
I've been especially impressed by the frequency of updates and the detailed descriptions of which bugs each update fixes, so that I know which updates I should perform immediately and which ones I can wait on. The fact that I can safely try an update and revert if necessary is an added bonus.
