NGINX<\/a>, the company behind one of the most popular web servers, has been acquired<\/a> by F5<\/a>. Of course, I’m glad for the NGINX team and founders, for who this is quite an accomplishment. But at the same time, much like many of the recent acquisitions, this one worries me. NGINX and F5 were competing in certain areas. That competition is now gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
