FAQ
Q
For which general use cases is NGINX more appropriate than Squid?
A
NGINX is generally deployed as a reverse proxy, not as a caching proxy (like Squid). The key advantage with NGINX is its nominal RAM and CPU usage under heavy load. Squid is best applied to cache dynamic content for applications that cannot do it themselves.
