Apache vs NGINX 

Didn't really explain the differences between the two or gave any examples for which is better on certain aspects. The title of the video wasn't delivered

we can install Apache's modules separately. but nginx needs a re-compilation of binary if want to enable a new module. and another main difference is Nginx is event driven while apache is process driven. which means nginx can handle much more request on single thread but apache create new thread for every request. which makes nginx fast/more performant

This man has talent, and he is able to explain it in a very enjoyable way, and he can write backwards very fast. I need to up my game man...

Great, I always enjoyed videos of IBM Tech, can you make a video explanation for ASGI and WSGI servers.

Fanatistic quick explanation of different considerations when looking at web server performance. Great start to answering the question. Thank you

It should also be noted that Apache uses a multi-threaded architecture with each request running in its own thread, while NGINX uses a single-threaded architecture with an event loop. Because of this, NGINX can handle many more simultaneous requests and is what gives it its speed advantage. In programmer terms, Apache acts like Java, NGINX acts like NodeJS.

Thank you very much for this lesson! You’ve unlocked a bit of a mystery for me as I’m beginning my cloud journey! 🥳

I've been using both for many years, and I like the modules and configuration of nginx much better.

Such a pleasant and knowledgeable presenter. Fantastic delivery.

Great resource of knowledge, high quality, very concise and to the point. I so much appreciate it. Thanks.

OMG Martin is the man. One day making exBEERiments and the other day teaching about web servers

TLDR/TLDW: Apache is older but more mature (extensions) while nginx is newer and faster. Both can be used rather interchangeably though.

**yelling gratitude**

I have been looking for a video like this for a long time! Outstanding work!

Thank you very very much! Finally I understood it in a simple, clear and practical way. I'm your fan!

Hey look, It's the Homebrew Challenge guy.

Amazing, always love your way to uncover technological nuances ❤

These IBM videos are hella good!

4:48 The difference between Apache and Nginx

Love the drawings. Helps a lot

Суперская связка, такие редко попадаются в открытом доступе, в основном в приватках и могут подкинуть прям друзья!

This is the reason why I love ibm ♥️

Did you really write from right to the left on that screen that we can read it or what is the magic behind this cool presentation technique? Thanks for the Video and BR

Wait a minute! That's Martin from brulosophy! That's so cool

having an arrow with Apache is kind of spot on with the Native American community :P I am Cherokee so I get it and think it is funny.

You didn't mention that Nginx can do Rate Limiting, WAF and more...Nginx can be a lot of faster by tweaking the settings for your use case.

And then there is haproxy, which blows them away in terms of speed and resource usage. Plus it has many more modern features included by default.

I do wish people would stop saying "SSL" when they mean "TLS". Virtually no one uses SSL any longer. Browsers disabled or removed it years ago, and I'd be very surprised if any of IBM's web sites still support it.

Thank you, british man & ibm. Perfect explanation 🙏

Martin is a rockstar !

this guy is great, very good video

DNS, MAIL, TCP and UDP?? Are these four should stay in one sentence. Aren't they from different categories?? DNS can use TCP and UDP... So this statement as in this video is definitely confusing making people think that these protocols are on the same level

Why is my YT beer-brewer talking about servers?!

Awesome tutorial, thanks a lot! ☺️

So you mentioned I can use Nginx as a load lanancer infront of multiple Apache web servers. How would I go about setting up multiple Apache servers to serve the same one static site?

Excellent explanation. Thank you

Great explanation

I always wondered how do they make such videos as facing the camera and writing on some board right front of us. Then i noticed an odd thing. All these people in such videos were lefty. It means they were writing on a transparent board facing them and once after they were done, the video was mirrored using video editor software.

The drawing of the browser window looks the same as my Mesa Boogie guitar amp 😅

Nice presentation, pls make video of cloud native app architecture with financial services application

The biggest difference I believe is .htaccess in Apache which gives granual control over user experience and security. If ASP had figured that out, they would not have been always playing catch up, however like most things popular, people start adding too many modules that slow everything down and you likely want to compile very carefully a stripped down version of Apache to use it, which is not advocated greatly. Nginx is perhaps geared towards being fast, secure, and the big companies have the money to partition off special purpose servers instead of relying on .htaccess, which is not a horrible strategy either. With the latest generations by AMD and Intel chips, you will only see the differences by testing in nano seconds, if you work for big data you have to learn these things.

Thanks for the video! Just out of curious, why did you put the EXTENSIBLE parameter only to the Apache http server instead of both? Isn't NginX provide it?

wow that glass is so clean

Great explanation, than you

Wait. So, the connection from my computer to the actual server is covered by the TLS certificate NOT NECESSARILY all the way? And that shouldn't raise anybody's alarm?

Regarding the load balancing features, how does how would we sockets be handled as apposed to regular http requests which are simply routed the web servers need to hold open connections

Love the presentation. Is that perspex or glass? What pens is he using anyone?

A very interesting video. Cheers

great video. btw @1:29 I always thought "a couple" meant two did I miss the memo

Start from 4:50.

So confused. So neither of these servers are for dynamic pages? Tomcat server is used for Java applications but what about non-java applications? Which server is used?

Thank you.

Beer brewing and Software Architecture? Noice!

favourite website IBM 😂 Lol I'm laughing so hard you make me cry laughter 😂

nginx Plus also does TCP and even UDP load balancing out of the box. I guess I've only ever used nginx Plus cause it does basically anything I want to do and has all the health checking and other stuff built in. If the backend runs Apache or Tomcat, then that's fine, but for load balancing I'm not sure why you'd use Apache unless you wanted complex solution to what should be a simple problem. Sure, nginx Plus costs money, but if you want a load balancing solution that doesn't, learn HAProxy, don't spend time learning Apache unless you have to.

whole video summarized: apache = older, enterprise extensible || nginx = newer, fast simple

Layer 7 not 7 layer. Other than that, good video. Didn't know IBM made these. Optional SSL... 🤐 (in the cluster only right?)

My question is: how did you do this "writing on glass effect" it blows my mind you are facing the camera, are you writing backword or what?

Azure Application Gateway is great option!

This entire video was made to deliver that bean dip joke.

Can do one video that talks about litespeed server?

How about the difference (if any) between Apache and IBM HTTP Server?

This explanation helped me a whole lot! Thanks so much.

Good video, I'd like to learn about WAS or Webspherem, pls!

Extremely helpful... Thank you.

that backwards writing though

Does anyone know what these boards are called he is writing on and how this is recorded so the camera can not be seen?

I need this board expeditiously

Very Nice presentation, keep it up

I thought you are going to brew with ibm.

Any views on Apache APISIX vs Nginx?

Why present old technologies? LiteSpeed is where?

layer 7. not 7 layer.

thanks

Not a contest. NGINX all the way. Unless you _have_ to run some cruddy PHP or Java thingy.

Layer 7 not 7 layer!

So the only difference is that Nginx is faster? I was expecting a more elaborated explanation.

How he is writing on the display

can't wrap my head around how they filmed this. did the guy write backwards or was it filmed in a mirror I have to know

Good info but also I am awe the presenter writing backwards!

I don't know what goes on under the hood of apache or nginx, but having used apache for year and nginx now I can say nginx is a lot simpler and hell lot faster. If you're developing new solution in 2023, go with nginx without second thought. Apache will be legacy soon.

Timestamps for the mash out plz

What are the servers used behind the load balancer?

Does anyone knows how to make a video like this? with this "invisible blackboard" ?

I have worked with both and they both suck. Very good at the basics, but so hard to make them do anything complicated. It takes like 2 lines of rust code to enable cors... But try add cors at the reverse proxy level instead and get ready for hours of agony reading poor documentation.

You ended there?.... I'm lost for words

CHECK❗

is he writing on that thing backwards ?

So, what, where is a comparison?

International Business Machines Corporation🎰

You are either a lefty able to write backwards or you reversed the video image

Smith Melissa Lewis Elizabeth Perez Timothy

wait...people still use apache ??

Brown Scott Young Daniel Thomas Kevin

i think for now days nginx +1

Omg, Apache. Is this 2013? 🤔

The presentation doesn't bring more on the difference between the two, you should change the title.

Aren't we brewing today?

Hall Matthew Martinez Cynthia Johnson Mary

wow, you explained nothing about their differences and just went on rambling about what an http server is and reverse proxys and load balancers... none of which are the primary purpose of apache or nginx
