NGINX Plus alternative at a fraction of the price. Patched NGINX with HTTP/3, upstream health checks, REST API, and advanced rate limiting.
Overview
GetPageSpeed NGINX-MOD is a patched, performance-enhanced build of NGINX with the most commonly needed NGINX Plus-style features included out of the box. Launch this AMI and get a production-ready web server, reverse proxy, or load balancer in seconds. No compilation, no module juggling, no trial keys.
What you get:
Performance patches: server_tokens_none for stricter header control than upstream; limit_req_rate for per-connection rate limiting with configurable burst; dynamic_tls_records for adaptive TLS record sizing and lower TTFB; max_headers raised to 100 (avoids silent failures under edge or HTTP/3); autoindex_natsort for natural sort in index listings; http_v3_authority_host for correct Host handling under HTTP/3.
Bundled modules (subset of NGINX Plus equivalents): http_upstream_check for active health checks against upstream servers; http_proxy_connect for CONNECT-method forward-proxy support; http_api, a JSON REST API for dynamic upstream reconfiguration; plus the full GetPageSpeed module set for caching, security, and observability.
HTTP/3 ready: built with QuicTLS for native HTTP/3 / QUIC support. Enable per-server with: listen 443 quic reuseport;
Operational niceties: zero manual activation, since licensing is handled at boot via AWS instance identity. dnf update nginx-mod works out of the box, no repo-auth setup. firewalld and SELinux are enforcing and SSH is key-only by default. Daily license renewal and telemetry to GetPageSpeed run in soft mode (logging only, never blocking).
vs stock NGINX: stock NGINX does not ship with these patches, does not bundle active health checks or the REST API, and does not ship with HTTP/3 on stable builds. With NGINX-MOD you get a tested, versioned build that stays current via dnf.
vs NGINX Plus ($2,500-$8,000 per year per server): NGINX-MOD covers the features most Plus customers actually use, upstream health checks, REST API for dynamic reconfig, advanced rate limiting, for a fraction of the price. You do not get NGINX Plus's closed-source extras (the JavaScript execution engine, NGINX-JS modules, official F5 support).
vs rolling your own: compiling NGINX with a dozen modules, HTTP/3, and the right patch set takes half a day the first time, and breaks on every major upstream bump. Let us maintain the build. You ship features.

Highlights
- Patched NGINX with active upstream health checks, JSON REST API for dynamic reconfig, and per-connection rate limiting with configurable burst. Most NGINX Plus features without the Plus price tag.
- HTTP/3 / QUIC ready out of the box with QuicTLS. Enable per-server with: listen 443 quic reuseport;
- Zero-touch licensing via AWS instance identity. dnf update nginx-mod keeps the build current. firewalld + SELinux enforcing + key-only SSH on first boot.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each Amazon EC2 instance running this pre-built NGINX-MOD machine image. Pricing has one structure: a per-hour software rate tied to the EC2 instance type you launch. Every dimension names a specific instance size, from small general-purpose types through large compute, memory, storage, and accelerated families. Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate, so your cost scales with the instance you choose. You run only the instances you need and stop paying when you shut them down. No upfront commitment applies to this usage-based rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The rate covers a pre-built machine image with the NGINX-MOD build, including HTTP/3 with QUIC, full HPACK compression, dynamic TLS records, kernel TLS, active health checks, and a REST API for upstream changes. It runs on an Amazon Linux 2023 base. Dynamic modules can be added separately.
The hourly software rate meters running time only. A fully stopped instance stops accruing the software charge. You may still pay AWS for underlying storage, such as attached volumes, while the instance sits stopped. You pay the software rate again once you start the instance.
Dimensions span general-purpose, compute, memory, storage, and accelerated families. The x86_64 listing fits Intel and AMD families like t3, c5, m5, and m6i. Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate, so cost scales with the size you launch. Pick the family matching your workload.
