My experience with Apache

Apache HTTP Server is one of the tools with which I have gained the most experience throughout my career. I have used Apache for deploying numerous web applications in enterprise contexts, acquiring in-depth skills in its installation, configuration, and optimization on Linux systems, particularly Ubuntu.

The backend of this very website is a concrete example of my work with Apache. The Laravel application that manages dynamic content is served through Apache on an Ubuntu server, with a configuration optimized for performance and security.

Technical skills

Over the years, I have developed comprehensive skills in Apache management, from initial configuration to deploying complex applications. I have experience in configuring virtual hosts, managing modules, implementing rewrite rules for SEO-friendly URLs, and configuring SSL certificates for secure HTTPS connections.

I have worked with Apache in various contexts, from deploying traditional PHP applications to configuring it as a reverse proxy for modern applications. My experience also includes performance optimization through caching configuration, gzip compression, and efficient management of keep-alive connections.

Apache and Docker

I have gained significant experience running Apache within Docker containers, both for development environments and production scenarios. This skill allows me to create replicable and easily deployable environments, ensuring consistency between development and production.

Enterprise contexts

My experience with Apache extends to enterprise contexts where reliability and security are priorities. I have deployed and managed critical applications, implementing robust configurations that ensure stability and performance even under heavy loads. This experience has taught me the importance of documentation, monitoring, and proactive web server management.
