NGINX App Protect Brings Security to the API Ecosystem
A “security as code” approach centered around NGINX App Protect is key to protecting your APIs. Integrate non‑disruptive security controls into your automation and CI/CD processes so that app security is baked in from the outset, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Securing gRPC APIs with NGINX App Protect
NGINX App Protect secures gRPC APIs by detecting malicious data in message headers and payloads, nested and complex data structures included. Define security policies in gRPC IDL files, and NGINX App Protect applies them immediately with no changes to its configuration.

How Real-Time APIs Power Our Lives
Many popular mobile apps rely on "real-time" APIs, which can process an API call end-to-end in under 30 milliseconds. Explore many real-world examples -- ride hailing, cashierless stores, credit card fraud detection, and IoT -- and learn why you need NGINX, the only real-time API solution.
Batching API Requests with NGINX Plus and the NGINX JavaScript Module
The NGINX JavaScript module released with NGINX Plus R15 supports subrequests, adding a whole new class of use cases for NGINX Plus. This complete example also uses the NGINX Plus API and Key-Value modules to convert client API requests to separate requests to the microservices APIs that make up an app.
