1. Apache:
Apache是一个开放源代码的Web服务器。它由Apache集团开发,最初于1999年3月25日发布。它主要用于Unix,Linux和Solaris平台。 Apache是世界上使用最广泛的Web服务器应用程序。它是非常安全,快速和可靠的。它是一个基于进程的Web服务器应用程序,它创建一个新线程。它提供了一个数据库,用于身份验证以及对错误和问题的定制响应。开发人员和用户都使用多个目录索引指令对它进行了彻底的测试。
2. Nginx:
Nginx是由Nginx.inc开发的Web服务器,最初于2004年10月4日发布。Nginx也可以用作反向代理服务器,该服务器修改来自客户端的请求并将请求发送到代理服务器。它还可以用作反向缓存,并且可以有效地处理静态文件(如JS文件,CSS文件等)。它可以提高内容,应用程序的质量和安全性。它是一种开放源代码的快速,轻巧和高性能的Web服务器,可用于提供静态文件。使用Nginx的一些公司包括IBM,GOOGLE,GITLAB,DuckDuckgo等。
Apache和Nginx之间的区别:
S.NO. | Apache | Nginx |
---|---|---|
1. | Apache is an open-source web server. | Nginx is a web server. It is also used as a reverse proxy server which revices the request from client and send the request to proxy server. |
2. | It is mostly used for Unix, Linux, Windows and Solaris platforms. | It is mostly used for Unix like systems, and does not completely support Windows. |
3. | It was developed by Apache group and initially released on 25 March 1999. | It was developed by Nginx.inc and initially released on 4 october 2004. |
4. | Apache is written in C and XML. | Nginx is written in C language. |
5. | It is designed for web server. | It is designed for proxy server as well as web server. |
6. | In heavy web traffic, it cannot support multiple requests. | It can support multiple client requests with limited hardware resources. |
7. | In Apache, modules are dynamically fixed that make it more complex. | In Nginx, modules cannot be loaded dynamically as there is a core software in which they are complied . |
8. | It follows Multi-Threaded approach to process client requests. | It follows Event-Driven approach to process client requests. |
9. | In Apache, there is a dynamic content in web server itself. | It does not support provide dynamic content. |
10. | Apache’s performance for static content is lower than that of Nginx. | Nginx’s performance of static content is two times faster than that of Apache as it can simultaneously run thousands of connections and it uses less memory comparatively. |
