If you are still into Apache vs Nginx comparison, this article may help make up your mind and give a bit broader look at Nginx.
For quite a long time we had been using Apache as a default web server and Nginx only for high load projects until one day Apache went down with only 300 users.
That situation and further experience with Nginx shifted our perception of it as a server suitable only for high loads to a server that is just better for almost any project.
Having worked with Nginx for a few years already, we’ve seen its advantages in projects of various scale, even very small.
However, we’ve noticed that many of our American clients still stick to Apache. It happens, either because they don’t think that other web server will make a difference or don’t know a better alternative.
Knowing the pros and cons of both technologies, we truly believe that Nginx is the best option in most cases and we’ll show you why.

It depends!
I am sure you’ve heard that one before. However, we’ll do our best to demonstrate exactly what the cost of your app depends upon, so by the end of this article you will have an idea of how much it may cost to develop your web application.
Let’s make sure we are on the same page when talking about a web application, as quite often this term gets misused.
According to Wikipedia, a web app is a client-server software application in which the client (or user interface) runs in a web browser. This is basically a desktop software that runs in your browser and you don’t need to install it on your computer.
Please note that in this article we are considering only custom web application development (because it is what we do). Therefore, we are not talking about websites built with an off-the-shelf CMS like WordPress or Magento.
In addition to that, we are concentrating only on the development cost, excluding custom design and UX from this calculation.
