Been thinking about nginx for some time. If I could get an easy Mono/F# implementation working with it, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I disliked that part to. The commands you need to know is: nginx -t (test your configuration) nginx -s reload (reload your configuration) Also I prefer "nginx -s restart".
Great feedback guys - we'll look this over and probably change it in the article : ) The reason it's as such is because of what @timroman said in his reply, but if this method is no different and scales better no reason not to use it instead.
Im surprised to see this on the frontpage, it is less than basics in anything any hacker worth its name can do.
What makes this "for developers"? Whats the difference if a sysadmin is reading this, or a Linux user? Im surprised to see this on the frontpage, it is less than basics in anything any hacker worth its name can do.

I am going to purchase a DO box this weekend and play around with nginx instead of apache. For some reason when I last tried to use nginx, I could not get location {} to work. Granted it was some time ago. Does anyone have any resources on nginx as a load balancer?
Actually it's a very simple custom non-wordpress theme I put together in about an hour, the entire thing built on top of http://roots.cx dynamic content : ) Another note, the share button at the bottom (just pushed a minute ago so hard refresh if it's cached) is from this plugin we put together and have been enjoying so far: https://github.com/carrot/share-button Glad you enjoyed the article!

Good article. Be wary of the well documented zero-day exploits if you're using php. This is one of my other favorite articles: http://docs.ngx.cc/en/latest/topics/tutorials/config_pitfall... Some good introductory stuff here as well: http://pineapple.io/resources/tagged/nginx
