Nginx Book
This project is an educational resource focused on Nginx architecture analysis and module development. It provides a structured approach to studying how the server handles traffic and how to customize core server behavior.
The material covers C language systems programming for the purpose of creating custom server extensions. It guides the process of writing and integrating new modules into the server source code to implement specialized networking logic or custom protocols.
The curriculum examines internal server components including memory pools, request processing chains, and the module-based extension system. It details the internal architecture and the use of low-level data structures to manage network traffic.
