This article mainly introduces the differences between nginx and nodejs, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

Differences: 1, nginx is mainly developed using C programming language, while node is developed using C, C++ and JavaScript; 2, compared with node, Nginx requires less time for large users to request and shorter time to respond to concurrent user requests; 3, the throughput of Node is very low, while that of Nginx is very high.

The operating environment of this tutorial: windows7 system, nodejs 12.19.0, Dell G3 computer.

Introduction to nginx

Nginx (engine x) is a high-performance HTTP and reverse proxy web server, as well as providing IMAP/POP3/SMTP services. Nginx was developed by Igor Sesoyev for the second most visited Rambler.ru site in Russia. The first public version 0.1.0 was released on October 4, 2004.

Nginx is a lightweight Web server / reverse proxy server and email (IMAP/POP3) proxy server, distributed under the BSD-like protocol. Its characteristic is that it occupies less memory and has strong concurrency ability. in fact, the concurrency ability of nginx performs better in the same type of web server.

Introduction to nodejs

Node.js is a javascript runtime environment. It allows javascript to develop back-end programs that implement almost all the functions of other back-end languages, on a par with back-end languages such as PHP, Java, Python, .NET, Ruby, and so on.

Nodejs is based on the V8 engine, which is an open source JavaScript engine released by Google, which itself is the js interpretation part of the Chrome browser, but Ryan Dahl, like a genius, moved the V8 to the server to do the server software.

The difference between nginx and nodejs

1. Development language

Node.js is developed using C language C + + and JavaScript, while Nginx is mainly developed using the C programming language.

2. Response time

In Node.js, it takes more time for large users to request a load. In Nginx, it takes less time for large users to request in a matter of seconds.

3. Concurrency

In Node.js, it takes more time to respond to concurrent user requests. In Nginx, it takes less time to respond to concurrent user requests.

4. Throughput

The throughput of Node.js is low; the throughput of Nginx is high.

5. Server

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment based on Chrome V8 engine, a development platform that lets JavaScript run on the server side; it is also a HTTP server with some event-driven functions.

Nginx is a lightweight Web server / reverse proxy server and email (IMAP/POP3) proxy server, distributed under the BSD-like protocol.
