INX is a high-performance, scalable, and flexible web server, a reverse proxy, and a load balancer. Designed to handle a variety of workloads, NGINX is well-suited for serving both dynamic and static content, routing client requests, and managing multiple upstream servers. Created to solve the C10K problem, handling at least 10,000 simultaneous client connections, NGINX has since evolved into a versatile solution that you can integrate into various modern and legacy application architectures.

NGINX can leverage PKCS #11 for SSL/TLS operations, enabling seamless integration with HSMs such as the for enhanced security. This enables you to generate, store, and process sensitive cryptographic material securely outside the boundary of the web server. This feature significantly bolsters the security posture of an NGINX deployment.
