## Overview

Nginx is the workhorse reverse proxy and web server of the internet: event-driven, memory-efficient, and configured through a declarative file format that rewards precision. It terminates TLS, load-balances to upstreams, caches aggressively, rate-limits, and serves static files — usually several of these at once in front of application servers.

Nginx configuration has sharp edges (location matching precedence, `if` inside location, proxy header subtleties) that produce subtle bugs. This skill covers the correct patterns for proxying, TLS, caching, and rate limiting, plus performance tuning and debugging.

## When to use

- Setting up nginx as a reverse proxy or load balancer.
- Configuring TLS (certificates, protocols, HSTS).
- Debugging routing issues (location matching, rewrites).
- Adding caching, compression, or rate limiting.
- Tuning nginx performance (workers, keepalive, buffers).
- Serving static files efficiently.
