someone asked me what the difference between nginx and apache is.

my answer was pretty simple:

nginx starts small, and you build it up as you need.

apache starts big, and you strip it down to what you need.

not entirely accurate technically, but a pretty good way to describe their philosophies, haha.

  1. For me, NGINX would scale better than Apache and it's event-driven, while Apache can be mpm_prefork but also mpm_event.
