Using Nginx to package and deploy a front-end project has the following benefits:
high performance:Nginx is suitable for high traffic websites with its efficient event-driven architecture, capable of handling large number of concurrent connections.
Static file service: Nginx is extremely efficient and loading in static files such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images.
Reverse proxy: Requests can be forwarded to the backend server, supporting load balancing and cross-domain request processing, improving system flexibility.
Cache Support:Nginx can configure cache, improve response speed and reduce server burden.
HTTPS Support: Can easily configure SSL/TLS to ensure safe data transmission.
Simple configuration: Nginx's configuration files are easy to understand and modify, suitable for rapid deployment and adjustment.
Modular extension: Supports a variety of modules, and functions can be added as needed, such as compression, speed limit, etc.
Logging: Provides detailed access and error logs to facilitate monitoring and debugging.
Support SPA (single-page application): The routing can be easily configured so that the SPA application can still work normally when refreshed.
Community Support: Widely used, rich documentation and community resources, easy to solve problems.
Load balancing:Nginx can be configured as a load balancer to distribute requests to multiple backend servers to improve application scalability and reliability.
Support WebSocket: Ability to handle WebSocket connections, suitable for applications that require real-time communication, such as chat applications or online games.
Flow control: You can configure current limit, speed limit and other policies to protect the back-end services from overloading.
Custom error page: Supports custom error pages (such as 404, 500) to improve user experience.
Cross-domain resource sharing (CORS): The CORS header can be easily configured to facilitate cross-domain requests with the front-end.
Integrated CDN: Static resources can be accelerated through CDN to increase the access speed of global users.
Easy to integrate CI/CD: Compatible with continuous integration and continuous deployment processes, facilitates automated updates and deployments.
Modular configuration: Supports dividing configurations into multiple files, making it easy to manage and organize complex configurations.
Dynamic content processing: Although it is mainly used for static files, it can also work in collaboration with other application servers (such as PHP, Python) to process dynamic content.
Security enhancement: Measures can be configured to prevent common attacks (such as DDoS attacks, SQL injection) to enhance overall security.
Monitoring and analysis: Used in combination with various monitoring tools (such as Prometheus, Grafana) to facilitate analysis of traffic and performance.
Quick recovery:Nginx's high availability and failure recovery mechanism ensures rapid recovery in case of problems with services and reduces downtime.
Flexible redirection: URL redirection and rewrite can be easily implemented, optimizing SEO and user experience.
Multi-site support: Multiple websites can be hosted on the same server and managed through the virtual hosting function.
Efficient resource utilization:Nginx's low memory footprint allows it to run effectively in resource-limited environments.
Content compression: Supports compression technologies such as Gzip to reduce the size of transferred files and improve loading speed.
Automatic configuration update: The configuration can be automatically updated through APIs or scripts, making it convenient for integration with DevOps processes.
SSL/TLS Termination:Nginx can handle SSL/TLS encryption, reducing the burden on the backend server.
Static resource version control: The cache can be managed through the hash value in the file name to ensure that the user is accessing the latest version of static resources.
Simple load monitoring: Provide basic request statistics and performance monitoring functions to facilitate understanding of traffic conditions.
Support HTTP/2: Can improve loading speed and performance and improve user experience.
Environmental isolation: Different Nginx instances can be configured for different applications or environments (such as development, testing, and production) to keep the environment isolated
