Time for me to slowly start looking for an alternative. There was a time when I wanted to move away from it and was eyeing HAProxy, but the lack of the ability to serve static files didn't convince me. Then there was Traefik, but I never looked too much into it, because Nginx is working just fine for me. My biggest hope was Cloudflare's Rust-based Pingora pre-announcement, which was then never published as Open Sourc…

This isn’t just “a core nginx dev” — this is Maxim Dounin! He is nginx. I would consider putting his name in the title. (And if I were F5, I’d have given him anything he asked for to not leave, including concessions on product vision.) That said, I’m not sure how much leg he has to stand on for using the word nginx itself in the new product’s name and domain…
He *is* nginx ? https://freenginx.org/hg/nginx I don't see it. Sure, he contributes. But in the last 3-4 years he definitely does not look like he is nginx based on that log. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Rage-fork doesn’t show up anywhere in their announcement, nor does it read like they’re doing something specifically out of rage. Everyone has a right to forking the project. Only time will tell if they get critical mass of developers to keep it going.
Surely "Nginx" is trademarked, copyrighted, etc. A cool and collected fork would do some basic work to avoid trivial lawsuits, consider the other forks already in the space, and write up a bit on how this fork will be different from the others.

The world has moved on in the sense that "good enough" and cloud eats into their balance sheets I'm sure, but there's loads and loads of banks and legacy enterprises that maintain their ivory tower data centers and there's nothing to replace these with AFAIK. Google has Maglev, AWS perhaps something similar, MS no idea, everyone else just buys F5 or doesn't need it.
Amazon used to run entirely behind Citrix NetScaler hardware; no F5 at all. This was back in the early 2010s so I assume things have changed by now.

There is no news other than this individual post. I wish he could describe it more. It says it is free but where is the github page for it?
There's a world of software out there that's not on github or using git. "I don't always git clone, but when I do, it's hg clone"
Some people just don't have a clue and only know buzzwords

I have mixed feeling about github's dominance. They have created facebook for devs and uplifted collaboration of software to a high level, but I can't help but feel like I'm renting storage space in someone else's private shop when I use them. Yes you get engagement, yes you get one link to share your dev profile and timeline grid in CV, but it's a for profit business that is run by MS.
Yep - I remember what happened with Source Forge/VA Linux. I actually paid for github when it first came out, just to fund it.
Still makes me nervous tbh
