Extending NGINX with Custom Code

All organizations have different infrastructure and requirements, and when you need to customize NGINX processing – for example adding cookie signatures for enhanced security – the NGINX JavaScript module (NJS) makes it easy. In this livestream we describe NJS and why we built an NGINX-specific JavaScript engine, before diving into how to use it in your environment. Then we help you understand the trade-offs between different ways of using NJS, and demo some features our presenters have implemented with NJS.

In this livestream we:

– Introduce you to NJS, which we designed specifically for serverside use cases and perrequest processing

– Explain how NJS extends NGINX configuration syntax with JavaScript code to add sophisticated functionality

– Discuss when to use NJS to solve a problem or extend NGINX use cases

– Show you NJS in action

– Answer your questions about using NJS
