Lighttpd (pronounced "pron") is all about security, speed, compliance and flexibility. Lighty is quickly changing the definition of efficiency in a webserver. It is optimized for high-performance environments and is therefore very efficient. Lighttpd is the ideal solution for any server experiencing load problems. It has a smaller memory footprint than other web-servers and can manage the cpu-load effectively. It's also open-source and licensed under the new BSD license. Lighttpd powers many popular Web 2.0 sites. Its high speed infrastructure allows them to scale many times faster with the same hardware as other web-servers.

NGINX Open Source: The open source web server that powers more than 400 million websites. NGINX Plus is an open-source software load balancer, webserver, and content cache. It was built on top NGINX. NGINX Plus offers enterprise-grade features that are not available in the open-source offering. These include session persistence, configuration via API and active health checks. NGINX Plus can be used instead of your hardware loadbalancer to allow you to innovate without being restricted by infrastructure. You can save more than 80% over hardware ADCs without sacrificing functionality or performance. You can deploy anywhere: public cloud or private cloud, baremetal, virtual machines, containers, or virtual machines. You can save time with the NGINX Plus API, which automates common tasks. Modern app teams require an API-driven platform that integrates seamlessly into CI/CD workflows. It can be used to automate app deployment, whether you have a hybrid or microservices architecture. It also makes app lifecycle management simpler.
