You may have heard about NGINX Unit as a polyglot application server for running your application code. But there is a lot more to discover. In this session we deep dive into the network layer of NGINX Unit, configuring routes with matching patterns to proxy traffic to our NGINX Unit-controlled applications. We show you tips and tricks for using NGINX Unit in your day-to-day engineering work by means of APIs written in Python and a frontend application created with ReactJS. After this session you will be able to use NGINX Unit as your development control plane to easily run and proxy traffic to different applications without the operational overhead of multiple containers and a separate NGINX proxy.
