About NGINX Unit

An universal web app server that combines several layers of the typical application stack into a single component. NGINX Unit simplifies the application stack for web apps and APIs by combining several layers of the typical stack into a single component. NGINX Unit is a universal web app server, intended as a building block for any web architecture regardless of its complexity, from enterprise-scale deployments to your pet's home page. It is equally suited to simplifying modern microservices environments as it is to modernizing legacy and monolithic applications. NGINX Unit was created by the original NGINX team on an all-new, open-source codebase. The architecture incorporates insights from over a decade of running the world’s most popular web server. Unlike the NGINX web server, NGINX Unit uses a multi-process, multi-threaded architecture. The NGINX web server is often deployed as a reverse proxy in front of web applications. NGINX Unit can run the application code natively.
