NGINX tuning for best performance

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

Setup Web Server on EC2 Amazon Linux AMI

Step 1: Server Credentials

This assumes you are now connected to the server via SSH.

  • sudo -s Enter root mode for admin access
  • groupadd devgroup Create new group to be later granted access to /var/www/html

Creating a new Root User

  • useradd -G root,devgroup masterdev Create new root user. Also add to the devgroup
  • passwd masterdev Change password for the new root user
  • At this point, you'll need to input your new root user's new password

Portable Node.js and NPM on windows
  1. Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/download/
  2. Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
  3. Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  4. Unpack the zip inside the node folder
  5. Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  6. Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
  7. Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
  8. On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.
