NGINX Playground

License: MIT

Repository dedicated to building environments and solutions using NGINX as a core component for web infrastructure. Each branch explores a different use case of NGINX, from basic HTTP server functionality to more advanced roles such as reverse proxy, API gateway, and load balancer.

📌 Purpose

This lab aims to explore, validate, and version NGINX configurations and usage strategies in various web architecture scenarios.

🔀 Branch Structure

Features are organized into independent branches, each addressing a specific context:

  • 01-server-basics – Static HTTP server and minimal structure
  • 02-proxy-reverse – Reverse proxy with multiple services
  • 03-api-gateway – Route forwarding and microservices segmentation
  • 04-load-balancer – Load balancing with upstreams and fallback
  • 05-logs-custom – Advanced log configuration
  • (Other branches will be added as the project evolves)

⚙️ Technologies and Practices Covered

  • NGINX 1.26+
  • Docker / Docker Compose
  • HTTP routing
  • Static file serving
  • Reverse Proxy
  • Load Balancing (Round Robin)
  • API Gateway with proxy_pass
  • Custom error pages
  • Logging and debugging

📁 Local Execution

docker-compose up -d

This environment serves as a base for testing and experimenting with NGINX configurations.
