NGINX Agent Architecture
• NGINX Agent uses an event driven
architecture with a centralized
messaging system
• The MessagePipe uses an in-
memory message bus leveraging the
tailored plugin subscriptions
• The NGINX Agent has an SDK for
reuse of protobuf definitions and
helper functions in building your own
control plane
