Angie is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy forked from nginx by former nginx developers, designed as a drop-in replacement requiring no major configuration changes. It extends nginx 1.31.x with production-ready HTTP/3/QUIC, DNS-over-HTTPS, RESTful JSON metrics, custom metrics, and many built-in and third-party modules.

Use cases

• replace nginx without rewriting configs
• serve websites over http3 and quic
• reverse proxy and load balance backend services
• auto-manage tls certificates with acme
• expose web server metrics to prometheus or grafana
• terminate proxy traffic for kubernetes ingress
• run a high performance static file and fastcgi server

When to choose

• you want an nginx-compatible server with more active development and modern features like stable HTTP/3
• you need built-in observability via REST API, custom metrics, and Grafana dashboards
• you want drop-in migration from nginx with existing module layout and configs
• you need packages, docker images, and many bundled third-party modules out of the box

When to avoid

• you depend on nginx-specific commercial offerings or official nginx support
• you need a minimal, conservative server and prefer upstream nginx's slower-moving release cadence
• your stack requires non-Linux/FreeBSD platforms with official binary packages
• you require vendor support outside Angie's commercial (PRO) offerings
