Antonio P.P. Almeida (@perusio) has been obsessed with NGINX and high-performance web stacks ever since he was trying to develop for Drupal on a battered 1.3 GHz Centrino-based laptop and Apache’s resource appetite made NGINX inevitable. He has been learning how to get the most out of NGINX in all possible kinds of applications, in particular all the subtleties of NGINX configuration language. He lives and works in Paris. Besides NGINX, his other main obsessions are obscure late Italian medieval music, cinema, and how to make Drupal more awesome.
