Have you had experience configuring or using NGINX in your projects?

Yes, I have used NGINX in projects for several purposes:

• As a reverse proxy server for load balancing between multiple applications.
• For static file serving (images, CSS, JS), which significantly speeds up page loading.
• Configuring SSL certificates to ensure HTTPS.
• Using configurations for redirects and IP access restrictions.

A simple example configuration for proxying requests to a backend server:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}
