Which web server do you prefer between Apache and Nginx when hosting websites on Alibaba Cloud ECS instances?

Alibaba Cloud provides the fastest technologies for hosting websites and web applications. Which web server do you prefer between Apache and Nginx when deploying a web server using their ECS(Elastic Compute Service) product?

I’m interested to know what you mean by “fastest”. Are you say Alibaba servers are faster than any of their competitors?

I generally use NGINX. It’s not necessarily the fastest by large margin (Apache’s event mpm), but it is light, flexible, and it has solid caching included, almost on par with varnish for simpler cases.

Alibaba Cloud uses the latest CPUs and fastest RAMs in their cloud computing infrastructure.

Thanks for clarifying.
