Nginx debuts in Australia amid growing demand for microservices

Nginx, the company that supports the operation of around 450 million global websites – including those of Netflix, Instagram and Pinterest – has set up shop in Australia to support companies embracing microservices.

During a visit to Sydney to announce the opening of a local three-person office, Robertson said the company now supports more than half (53.5%) of the world’s busiest websites with tools that can allow several hundred thousand people – a million-plus in some cases – to access a website simultaneously.

The open source software is remarkably lightweight for what it delivers, with fewer than 200,000 lines of code contained in less than 2.5MB.

In Australia, the only user Nginx was prepared to name was Telstra, which in 2016 invested $8m in Nginx through its Telstra Ventures group. Robertson said that around 10% of all Nginx customers were based in Australia or New Zealand.

While Nginx’s heritage is in optimising website operations, its future may lie in supporting enterprise microservices endeavours.

According to Nginx, the appetite for microservices has reached a tipping point. It cited a DZone survey, which said over half of companies have deployed microservices for at least one application, with just over a quarter doing so in production.

Robertson said out of Nginx’s 1,500 customer base worldwide, around 250 were transitioning to microservices. Companies, he said, wanted to roll out modern apps that look like Netflix or Airbnb, and not like a mainframe application.
