## What it is
A collection of demo configurations and scripts from NGINX showing load balancing, service discovery, autoscaling, and deployment patterns for NGINX and NGINX Plus. Each demo is a self-contained example, often using Docker containers and cloud platforms like AWS and GCP.

## Use cases
- learn how to configure NGINX Plus load balancing
- set up autoscaling with NGINX Plus on AWS
- integrate NGINX with Consul or etcd for service discovery
- load balance a MySQL Galera cluster with NGINX
- deploy a high availability NGINX Plus configuration on Google Cloud
- see examples of NGINX running in Docker containers

## When to choose
- you want working reference examples for NGINX or NGINX Plus features
- you are evaluating NGINX Plus capabilities like upstream_conf API or active health checks
- you need a starting point for HA load balancer deployments on AWS or GCP

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready, supported configuration rather than demos
- you use a different reverse proxy like HAProxy or Traefik
- you want a turnkey product rather than example code to adapt
