nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev. For a long time, it has been running on many heavily loaded Russian sites including Yandex, Mail.Ru, VK, and Rambler. According to Netcraft, nginx served or proxied 25.43% busiest sites in June 2020. Here are some of the success stories: Dropbox, Netflix, Wordpress.com, FastMail.FM.

Igor Sysoev: I was born in 1970 and grew up in Alma-Ata, USSR (now Almaty, Kazakhstan). I graduated from Bauman Moscow State Technical University in 1994. In 2000 – 2011 I worked at Rambler as a system administrator. Then in 2011 I have founded NGINX, Inc. In 2019 the company was acquired by F5 Networks, Inc. and I continued to live in Moscow and currently work at NGINX business unit of F5 Networks.
I'm the original author of nginx (pronounced "engine x"), a high performance HTTP and reverse proxy server.
