Introduction Build Status

Tengine is a web server originated by Taobao, the largest e-commerce website in Asia. It is based on the Nginx HTTP server and has many advanced features. Tengine has proven to be very stable and efficient on some of the top 100 websites in the world, including taobao.com and tmall.com.

Tengine has been an open source project since December 2011. It is being actively developed by the Tengine team, whose core members are from Taobao, Sogou and other Internet companies. Tengine is a community effort and everyone is encouraged to get involved.

Features

  • All features of nginx-1.22.1 are inherited, i.e., it is 100% compatible with nginx.
  • Support the CONNECT HTTP method for forward proxy.
  • Support asynchronous OpenSSL, using hardware such as QAT for HTTPS acceleration.
  • Enhanced operations monitoring, such as asynchronous log & rollback, DNS caching, memory usage, etc.
  • Support server_name in Stream module.
  • More load balancing methods, e.g., consistent hashing, and session persistence.

  • Includes a mechanism to support standalone processes.
  • Protects the server in case system load or memory use goes too high.
  • Multiple CSS or JavaScript requests can be combined into one request to reduce download time.
  • Removes unnecessary white spaces and comments to reduce the size of a page.
  • Proactive health checks of upstream servers can be performed.
  • The number of worker processes and CPU affinities can be set automatically.
  • The limit_req module is enhanced with whitelist support and more conditions are allowed in a single location.
  • Enhanced diagnostic information makes it easier to troubleshoot errors.
