wordpress servers powered by nginx +

There is no doubt nginx is a very solid piece of software, way better then lighty. More and more serious web sites switch to it because it’s the way to go, performance wise.

Barry from WordPress is explaining how they setup nginx into their 300 servers cluster, for their 2 main sites (wordpress.com and gravatar.com).

I feel sorry for Crapache (ahh, I meant Apache). Anyways, check the main WordPress server header:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 04:52:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: close
Vary: Cookie
X-hacker: If you're reading this, you should visit automattic.com/jobs and
apply to join the fun, mention this header.
X-Pingback: http://wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

Care to apply for a job? :)

    Thanks, your writing in vB forums convincing me to migrate to Nginx and I did it.
    I’m really happy with the result!
    Though I’m using Invision Board there it definitely made my forum board much faster than before when I’m using Apache.
