What We Know

Nginx was acquired by F5 Networks in March 2019 for approximately $670 million. The acquisition was notable because Nginx had been considered a potential IPO candidate given its widespread adoption and growing commercial business around its open-source web server software. F5 Networks acquired Nginx to strengthen its application delivery and security portfolio, particularly in modern application architectures and microservices. The Nginx software remains open source, but the commercial products are now part of F5's broader application services platform.
