All organizations have different infrastructure and requirements, and when you need to customize NGINX processing – for example adding cookie signatures for enhanced security – the NGINX JavaScript module (NJS) makes it easy. In this livestream we describe NJS and why we built an NGINX-specific JavaScript engine, before diving into how to use it in your environment. Then we help you understand the trade-offs between different ways of using NJS, and demo some features our presenters have implemented with NJS.

In this livestream we:

Introduce you to NJS, which we designed specifically for serverside use cases and perrequest processing

Explain how NJS extends NGINX configuration syntax with JavaScript code to add sophisticated functionality

Discuss when to use NJS to solve a problem or extend NGINX use cases

Show you NJS in action

Answer your questions about using NJS
