Does anyone have any recommendations on books to really learn reverse proxies and #NGINX? The ones I've found seem to have little to no reviews and I don't want to pay for AI generated crap.

I really can't learn from videos at all.

@Tristan https://phoenixnap.com/kb/nginx-reverse-proxy

and

https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/

should have you covered

No idea how one would write an entire book on that topic.

Unless you want to do load/geo balancing, clustering etc.

How to Set up & Use NGINX as a Reverse Proxy

Learn how to set up an NGINX reverse proxy through a hands-on example. NGINX includes load balancing, security, and optimization options.

@TheOneDoc thank you, but I'm looking for an in depth understanding of best practices, considerations, and obscure configurations rather than a tutorial. I've set up Nginx alot, but would like to really be an expert. Load balancing, performance and security are where I feel like my knowledge is most limited.

@Tristan than your best bet would be a course and that stuff is not cheap.
I don't think anyone is giving it away for free or the price of a book 🤷🏿‍♀️

Edit: Best practice is always difficult as it largely depens on what you are working with.

Network topology, speed, etc and most of the relevant optimizations aren't actually done in nginx.

I wish you good look on your quest.
