Thinking outside of the box with NGINX series - geo command
For the second part of this series let’s talk about another command, this time, let’s talk about the geo command.
The geo command, as the name says, was created to allow geolocation information, but actually, you can think of geo as a “switch case” where you can match network blocks and get a result from it.
Thinking outside of the box with NGINX series - split_clients command

SSL acceleration using NGINX and backend SSL connection identification
One common trick to optimize SSL termination performance is to have a proxy terminating all the SSL connections and proxying the connection to a plain HTTP backend.
This, in theory, works very well and without any code changes, but in practice, you discover that after doing this your application can’t tell the difference between HTTP and HTTPS clients.
Zero-downtime deployments using NGINX
Hello, everyone! Missed posting here, I should say that I need to start posting again!

Caching range requests using NGINX at MaxCDN
On the end of 2013 I’ve met two amazing guys Justin Dorfman and David Archibald from MaxCDN, they were looking for a way to cache 206 Partial content.
