Nginx turns 10yrs old this month Nginx Celebrates 10 Years Of Transforming The Internet - NGINX !

First, this month marks the 10th anniversary of the first release of NGINX open source, the technology platform that is transforming the Internet, making it faster, more scalable, and efficient, while also helping businesses deliver the best possible web experience for their users. In fact, today over 40 percent of the Internet’s busiest websites in the world rely on NGINX to drive the performance of their web applications according to recent figures from W3Techs, with increased adoption by hundreds of FORTUNE 1,000 enterprises worldwide. According to an August 2014 blog post from Forrester titled, “Nginx And Mobile Are Marching Together Into Internet History,” the company was lauded as “… a symbol of a massive pivot in your technology platform.”

“Looking back at the last decade, the momentum behind NGINX has been phenomenal,” said Igor Sysoev, co-founder and CTO of Nginx. “We originally started this project to solve the problems that arose with the growth of online services and adoption exploded as demand for high performing web applications increased, like more visitors, more traffic and increasingly complex computing architectures. A year ago, nearly 15 percent of the entire Internet had NGINX under the hood. Fast forward 12 months and we have almost a quarter of the Internet using our platform and adoption continues to skyrocket.”

Some Netcraft and W3Tech numbers

October 2014 Web Server Survey | Netcraft

Usage Statistics and Market Share of Web Servers for Websites, October 2014

wow from Netcraft analysis, didn't realise that link farms for Network Solutions' parked domain notices would account for that many domains !

Apache regains the lead
Microsoft lost the lead to Apache this month, as the two giants continue to battle closely for the largest share of all websites. Apache gained nearly 30 million sites, while Microsoft lost 22 million, causing Apache to be thrust back into the lead by more than 36 million sites. In total, 385 million sites are now powered by Apache, giving it a 37.45% share of the market.

A significant contributor to this change was the expiry of domains previously used for link farming on Microsoft IIS servers. The domains used by these link farms were acquired and the sites are now hosted on Apache servers at Confluence-Networks, which display Network Solutions parking notices.

A new major release in the Apache 2.2 legacy branch was announced on 3 September. Apache 2.2.29 also incorporates many changes — including several security fixes — from version 2.2.28, which was not officially released. New versions of nginx stable and mainline were also released during September, which included fixes for an SSL session reuse vulnerability, plus several other bugfixes.

This last metric is interesting to see how many physical servers are in play. If you took the ratio of all active sites to computers it would be

Apache ratio of active sites to computers = 38.38

Microsoft ratio of active sites to computers = 14.22

Nginx ratio of active sites to computers = 49.89

If took all market share to computer ratio it would be

Apache ratio of all sites to computers = 163.24

Microsoft ratio of all sites to computers = 226.51

Nginx ratio of all sites to computers = 288.60

Meaning, Nginx serves more sites overall or more active sites per web server than Apache or Microsoft
