Why do so many people use NGINX?

I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There's HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.

If you're starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

  • Security

    Caddy is good but it tried to do to much. This means that security bugs could be way more common. It has been audited by outside people and the issues they found were fixed but I am will very doubtful that it is secure yet

    • I think security is a fair point, given caddy's younger age compared to nginx, but I wouldn't say it tried to do too much.
