Nginx

Web server and reverse proxy

Server software supporting HTTP/HTTPS, serving static files, and forwarding traffic to backend applications. Often handles TLS termination, compression, rate limiting, and basic traffic control.

Why it matters

Sits at the front of the server: accepts traffic, serves static files instantly, and forwards the rest to the application. Plus, TLS termination, compression, and rate limits — all in one, proven place.

What's missing without it

Without a layer in front of the application, every request — even for an image — burdens the backend, and encryption and rate-limiting configurations are scattered across applications.

When it is used

In front of nearly every web application: as a static file server, reverse proxy, and TLS termination point.

How we use it

Nginx routes traffic from nazwa-domeny.pl to an application running on a local port and enforces HTTPS.
