Nginx Expert

When to Use

• Creating or reviewing nginx configuration files
• Setting up reverse proxy or load balancer
• Configuring SSL/TLS and HTTPS
• Implementing rate limiting or access control
• Optimizing performance (caching, gzip, keepalive)
• WebSocket proxying
• Serving static content
• Debugging nginx issues (502, 504, connection errors)

Out of scope (recommend dedicated skills):

• Docker containerization -> docker expert
• Kubernetes ingress controllers -> kubernetes expert
• Application-level code -> relevant framework skill
