Managing traffic has become reliable and routing policies have protected critical applications
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for NGINX Ingress Controller is managing the traffic that comes through our application. If the server is down or if clients are unable to access our app, then we manage NGINX Ingress Controller. We check if the pod is healthy or not and if the traffic is routing properly or not.
A specific example of when NGINX Ingress Controller helped me solve a problem is when it routes people accessing our applications. For instance, if users try to access example.com/a, then NGINX Ingress Controller routes them to service A, and if they try to access example.com/b, it sends the traffic to service B.
What is most valuable?
The best features NGINX Ingress Controller offers include helping to expose our applications, such as the front end and back-end API, and allowing us to manage multiple services behind just one IP address. It also handles HTTPS requests in production and performs load balancing automatically. If you want to scale the pods from two to five or two to six, we can configure that. NGINX Ingress Controller automatically distributes the traffic with no manual configuration needed.
In my day-to-day life, we debug and troubleshoot frequently by checking ingress rules, NGINX logs, and service endpoints. It provides good security features, allowing us to block some IP addresses, rate-limit APIs, and implement basic authentication or AuthO.
NGINX Ingress Controller has positively impacted my organization by helping us with exposing our applications and managing security and auto-scaling. All of these aspects have been very beneficial as we are using Google Cloud Platform in our organization.
A specific outcome regarding NGINX Ingress Controller is that it has definitely helped us reduce the downtime of our applications.

What other advice do I have?
While I have not compared NGINX Ingress Controller with other solutions, I find all of its features, such as load balancing, security, and exposing multiple services behind one IP, to be the best facilities NGINX Ingress Controller is providing. We check all those aspects whenever we encounter any issues in production related to NGINX Ingress Controller.
