Advantages of Nginx over Apache?

[cxdy]

I don't know much about Nginx, so could someone explain the advantages of using it over Apache?

Nginx is event based, rather than thread based, so you get a more efficient server under high load. It's also used widely as a reverse proxy that sits in front of application servers (Apache, Tomcat, Jetty, etc, etc).

It's usually good to run both Apache and Nginx together. In heavy traffic websites Nginx beats Apache in EVERY situation.

Should have formulated "what is your opinion about blah or blah, or which one do you think it's better blah or blah".

Now I know for next time

How would that work? They're both webservers, aren't they?
