Can Nginx servers scale to the level of Google

Got it. Thanks. Which servers are best suited to handle such high levels of load, and are available for free and open usage like Nginx or Apache is? I read that Apache has even more problems than Nginx.

Nothing wrong with NGINX. Read Cloudflare post on Pingora.

Different needs for different usecases where NGINX is more of an OOTB situation. NGINX is great. I see Caddy mentioned quite a bit, believe it’s written in Go where NGINX is written in C. Cloudflare wrote Pingora in Rust IIRC and I want to say they are releasing an open source flavor

Hmm I read the post. Cloudfare handles almost 1 trillion requests per day, Google does that per year. However, the request types are different, Cloudfare handles a variety of requests like caching and forwarding, while Google requests are about serving complete web pages. May be for the webserver purpose like Google Nginx may suffice?

I'm sorry but those numbers can't be right. Google Analytics is embedded in enough sites to hit a trillion hits a day.

Cloudflare serves web pages bro because they proxy the bytes between servers from origin to eyeball
