Great to see all the people joining the Nginx Unit GitHub repo! I have already dropped some messages on Twitter. We would love to hear your story and why you are here. Where did you hear about the project? Looking forward to all the interesting comments! Timo and the Unit Team

I learned about Nginx Unit from an article on Habr. https://habr.com/ru/articles/588785/ I am a Laravel developer and I wanted to optimize my work. This was in 2020 or 2021. At that time I was in the process of containerizing an application in Docker. One of the first queries led to the article nginx + php-fpm. I did not like this bundle as it was heavy and used nginx as a proxy. The article was a comparison of different web servers and there were two winners. Nginx Unit and Roadrunner. I was interested in the new web server and when I found out that it uses JSON for configuration I wanted to try it. I was also impressed by the availability of modules and in particular PHP module to run the application I needed. That's the story :)
