NGINX Plus features, free.
AI gateway, inside your nginx.
Active health checks, dynamic upstreams, sticky sessions, JWT/OIDC auth, Prometheus metrics, WAF — everything you'd pay NGINX Plus for, running on stock nginx with zero patches. Add nginz-token when you need token-level visibility and control over your LLM APIs.
Four layers. One nginx-native family.
Drop in what you need — native modules for stock nginx, a scripted policy layer, an AI gateway, and a full IoT data plane.
nginz
Native modules for stock nginx — active health checks, dynamic upstreams, JWT auth, Prometheus metrics, and more. No fork, no patch, no Plus license.
nginz-njs
Scripted policy layer running in nginx njs. Compose authorization, feature flags, workflow orchestration, and response transforms — testable, reusable, no second runtime.
nginz-token
AI gateway that runs inside your nginx binary. Token-level rate limiting, per-user cost tracking, bounded cache policy, and prompt security — no SaaS proxy, your data stays yours.
nginz-iot
nginx-native IoT data plane — MQTT broker, industrial gateways (Modbus, OPC UA, CoAP, LwM2M, OCPP), rules, and data bridges. Same worker model, one operator boundary.
