## Overview
Master Nginx configuration for production-grade web servers, reverse proxies, load balancing, SSL termination, caching, and API gateway patterns with advanced performance tuning.
## When to Use
- Reverse proxy setup
- Load balancing between backend services
- SSL/TLS termination
- HTTP/2 and gRPC support
- Caching and compression
- Rate limiting and DDoS protection
- URL rewriting and routing
- API gateway functionality
## Quick Start
Minimal working example:
```nginx
# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
user nginx;
worker_processes auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile 65535;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 4096;
use epoll;
multi_accept on;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
# Logging
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
log_format upstream_time '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '
'"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

## Best Practices
### ✅ DO
- Use HTTP/2 for performance
- Enable SSL/TLS with strong ciphers
- Implement proper caching strategies
- Use upstream connection pooling
- Monitor with stub_status or prometheus
- Rate limit to prevent abuse
- Add security headers
- Use least_conn load balancing
- Keep error logs separate from access logs
### ❌ DON'T
- Disable gzip compression
- Use weak SSL ciphers
- Cache authenticated responses
- Allow direct access to backends
- Ignore upstream health checks
- Mix HTTP and HTTPS without redirect
- Use default error pages in production
- Cache sensitive user dataRelated Skills
