NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps.

Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility.

The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions.

Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles.

Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun.

It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain.

The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system.
