Tell about your experience working with Nginx: how did you set it up, what did you configure?

In my experience working with Nginx, I have configured it as a reverse proxy server for load balancing between multiple backend servers. I configured server blocks for different domains, set up SSL certificates for HTTPS, and also optimized caching and gzip compression to speed up static content delivery.

Example of a basic reverse proxy setup:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend_server;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

I also handled setting rate limits, logging configurations, and automatic service restarts upon configuration changes.
