What is nginx used for? I would use nginx to

  • handle SSL and HTTP2 (Iron can do that but it’s nicer to do it in nginx, esp. when you have multiple servers on multiple domains running and want to have a single place to configure that)
  • serve static files (it’s crazy fast and can do clever stuff like serving static gzip versions)
  • load balance multiple proxies
