An Nginx C module that dynamically syncs upstream server lists from Consul or etcd, allowing live modification of backend server attributes like weight and max_fails without reloading Nginx. It avoids the performance cost of restarting Nginx under high load.
Use cases
- dynamically update nginx upstream servers without reload
- sync backend server list from consul to nginx
- scale nginx backends up and down without restarting
- modify nginx upstream weights at runtime
- avoid nginx reload under high traffic
- service discovery for nginx load balancing
When to choose
- you need zero-downtime upstream changes in nginx
- your infrastructure uses consul or etcd for service discovery
- reloading nginx under load causes performance degradation
When to avoid
- you use a TCP/stream (L4) proxy instead of HTTP - use nginx-stream-upsync-module
- you prefer a control-plane like OpenResty or an API gateway for dynamic routing
- you need a maintained module with an explicit license
