The open source NGINX web server(and load balancer, HTTP cache and reverse proxy server) is turning 10 this month and its commercial counterpart, NGINX Plus is celebrating its first birthdayat the same time. To mark this moment, the company provided me with its latest user stats and I also had a chance to get a few comments from Gus Robertson, the company’s CEO.
Over the last twelve months, NGINX adoption grew 54 percent, the company tells me, with a 41% market share among the top 10,000 busiest websites. Over the last four years, NGINX adoption grew 400% in total, the company tells me. Those are impressive stats, but what’s maybe even more important to the company is that its commercial service now has 250 paying customers, a growth of 164 percent in Q3 compared to the last quarter.
Robertson tells me that the company is seeing traction across a wide variety of industries, including media and entertainment, e-retailing, technology, finance and education markets. “These accounts are typically looking to deliver applications that function like the large-scale consumer websites but without the development and engineering costs to custom build an application delivery tier,” Robertson noted.
