Design Decisions Behind NGINX’s High Performance and Scalability

NGINX achieves top‑tier performance and scalability through a multi‑process architecture that limits worker processes to one per CPU core, employs single‑threaded non‑blocking workers handling many connections via an event‑driven state machine, and isolates privileged tasks in a master process.

Design Decisions Behind NGINX’s High Performance and Scalability

NGINX achieves high performance and scalability by using a multi‑process architecture with a single master process, multiple single‑threaded non‑blocking worker processes, and dedicated cache loader/manager processes, limiting worker count per CPU core and handling many connections via an event‑driven state machine.
