Apache

multi-processing modules

It consumes a lot of RAM and might refuse connections at hight loads

NGINX

It was created in response to the C10K challenge of handling at least 10,000 simultaneous client connections on a single server
NGINX uses an asynchronous, event-driven architecture to handle these massive amounts of connections

Features:

• Reverse Proxy

  • handle the connection request and forward the request to servers

• Load Balance

  • Forward the connections into multiple servers

  • Forward the requests bases on weight

  • Bases on ip_hash in order to keep session.

• Fast Static Content

  • High-traffic website owners that need to serve a lot of static content and/or media streams will probably prefer NGINX
