This article breaks down the core techniques Nginx uses to handle millions of simultaneous connections, covering its asynchronous non‑blocking event model, master‑worker process architecture, zero‑copy data transfer, and memory‑management optimizations with practical configuration examples.
This article explains how Nginx achieves high‑performance web serving through its master‑worker multi‑process model, event‑driven mechanism, and asynchronous non‑blocking I/O, detailing each component’s role, configuration tips, and the reasons behind its superior concurrency handling.
This article walks through the evolution from a single‑machine Java monolith to a distributed, container‑based platform, detailing master‑worker roles, core Kubernetes‑like components, networking, scheduling, and plug‑ins for a complete cloud‑native orchestration solution.
This article explains how Alibaba Cloud Log Service implements a billion‑scale task scheduling framework for its observability platform, covering background, task types, design goals, architecture, key design points, and practical examples such as aggregation jobs and various scheduling scenarios.
This article explains how Nginx creates and controls its master and worker processes using Linux signals, global flag variables, and a series of initialization steps—including signal handling, process spawning, socketpair communication, and worker loop execution—to achieve robust, high‑concurrency request handling.
This article explains Nginx's role as a lightweight web and reverse‑proxy server, clarifies forward vs reverse proxy concepts, details the master‑worker architecture, hot deployment, high‑concurrency handling with epoll, and shows how to achieve high availability and load balancing using Keepalived, upstream blocks, and caching.
