Looking forward to the Efficient Programming Languages track at @qconlondon today! Hosted by @anne_e_currie and @jonberger0 ๐ป
Kicking off with Alan Elder and "What can you learn from the fastest code in the world?"
India has the largest percentage of vegetarians in the world, and one of the most important feedback weโve gotten from them is that they are very particular about how their food is cooked, and how their food is handled.
Harkirat is overrated
Too overwhelming,
any questions ask : he be like :
"some sort of thing" ,
"it's high level" ,
"if you don't know, no worries we'll cover it later".
Nginx is one of the most powerful tools out here, and I have used it in production for many years โก
Here are the 8 key features that I believe every engineer should note, explore, configure, and experiment with ๐โ
1. it has high performance and a very low overhead
2. it can cache responses and reduce the load on backend servers
3. it can be used as a Reverse Proxy
4. it can balance the load across multiple servers
5. it can rewrite URLs are forward the apt request in the apt format
6. it can compress the content before sending, thus bettering
7. it has rate-limiting capabilities to prevent platform abuse DDoS
8. it can handle SSL/TLS termination and pass unencrypted requests to the backend servers
Almost all the startups, and even some big organizations, hacked a lot of behaviors and performance optimizations using just Nginx.
The official documentation of Nginx is simple and interesting. Instead of just going through the doc, configure the Nginx locally and play around.
We tend to learn better by doing ๐
