How I Optimized Nginx to Double My Site’s Concurrency

The article walks through a systematic Nginx performance tuning process that starts with baseline load testing, identifies bottlenecks in worker processes, connection limits, I/O and buffering, and applies targeted configuration changes—such as auto workers, keep‑alive tuning, gzip, and proxy buffers—resulting in a three‑fold increase in concurrent request handling.

Why Skipping Load Balancing Cripples Web Services: Layer‑4 vs Layer‑7 Explained

The article explains how direct connections to a single web server create a single point of failure and limit scalability, then introduces layer‑4 (transport‑level) load balancing that distributes traffic among multiple backend servers, and finally describes layer‑7 (application‑level) load balancing that routes requests based on URL paths such as “/” and “/blog”, highlighting the added complexity and proxy‑like behavior required.
