About this Report
In this report, commissioned by F5 NGINX and authored by SlashData, we explore the current state of the NGINX community. We provide an overview of the profiles of respondents to the survey in terms of their geographic location, role, and size of their organization, before focusing on their use cases and the challenges they face in application (app) and API delivery projects. We then dive deeper into apps and APIs, looking at how respondents’ companies approach APIs. We also explore how important security, scalability, and observability features are in app and API delivery projects.
