#4Here are relevant Russian discussions on OpenNET[0] & LOR[1].
N.B. From Nginx company history on Wikipedia:
> On 12 December 2019, it was reported that the Moscow offices of Nginx Inc. had been raided by police, and that Sysoev and Konovalov had been detained. The raid was conducted under a search warrant connected to a copyright claim over Nginx by Rambler—which asserts that it owns all rights to the code because it was written while Sysoev was an employee of the company. On 16 December 2019, Russian state lender Sberbank, which owns 46.5 percent of Rambler, called an extraordinary meeting of Rambler's board of directors asking Rambler's management team to request Russian law enforcement agencies cease pursuit of the criminal case, and begin talks with Nginx and with F5.[2]

#6It still surprises me that NGINX beat out Apache so quickly even though Apache had way more modules and was/is entirely free vs. NGINX which is more or less "open core" with some nice features requiring commercial licensing.

#7I really take for granted how well Nginx works across a number of web backend functions.
Some of the container/orchestration world has tried to supplant the need for it as a reverse proxy, but you get so many goodies out of the box just by sticking this in front of your app, and for very little overhead.
I remember the pre-Nginx days and all of the struggles people routinely ran into with options like Apache or other reverse proxy tools.

Which modules do you miss in nginx that are free in Apache?

On the other hand, the unreadable weird-ass pseudo-XML configuration files of Apache made anyone touching them wish for something better.
I also expect ngx_lua did a lot for adoption, the fact that you could always "shell out" to lua if you needed was a huge boon even just for peace of mind.

#10People need to stop with this Cloudflare captcha madness. I literally accessed nginx.com a few hours ago and now it hit me with a captcha again.
