 ## 6. Running in Production
-In production you probably should run using gunicorn workers:
+### 6.1 Uvicorn Workers with Gunicorn
+In production you may want to run using gunicorn to manage uvicorn workers:
 ```sh
 command: gunicorn app.main:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b 0.0.0.0:8000
 ``` 
 Here it's running with 4 workers, but you should test it depending on how many cores your machine has.
 
 To do this if you are using docker compose, just replace the comment:
-This part in docker-compose.yml:
+This part in `docker-compose.yml`:
 ```python
+# docker-compose.yml
+
 # -------- replace with comment to run with gunicorn --------

 # command: gunicorn app.main:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b 0.0.0.0:8000
 ```
 
 Should be changed to:

+### 6.2 Running with NGINX
+NGINX is a high-performance web server, known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. NGINX acts as a reverse proxy, that is, it receives client requests, forwards them to the FastAPI server (running via Uvicorn or Gunicorn), and then passes the responses back to the clients.
+
+To run with NGINX, you start by uncommenting the following part in your `docker-compose.yml`:
+```python
+# docker-compose.yml
+
+...
+  # #-------- uncomment to run with nginx --------
+  # nginx:
+  #   image: nginx:latest
+  #   ports:
+  #     - "80:80"
+  #   volumes:
+  #     - ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
+  #   depends_on:
+  #     - web
+...
+```
+
+Which should be changed to:
+```python
+# docker-compose.yml
+
+...
+  #-------- uncomment to run with nginx --------
+  nginx:
+    image: nginx:latest
+    ports:
+      - "80:80"
+    volumes:
+      - ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
+    depends_on:
+      - web
+...
+```
+
+Then comment the following part:
+```python
+# docker-compose.yml
+
+services:
+  web:
+    ...
+    # -------- Both of the following should be commented to run with nginx --------
+    command: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
+    # command: gunicorn app.main:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b 0.0.0.0:8000
+```
+
+Which becomes:
+```python
+# docker-compose.yml
+
+services:
+  web:
+    ...
+    # -------- Both of the following should be commented to run with nginx --------
+    # command: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
+    # command: gunicorn app.main:app -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -b 0.0.0.0:8000
+```
+
+Then pick the way you want to run (uvicorn or gunicorn managing uvicorn workers) in `Dockerfile`.
+The one you want should be uncommented, comment the other one.
+```python
+# Dockerfile
+
+CMD ["uvicorn", "app.main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000", "--reload"]
+# CMD ["gunicorn", "app.main:app", "-w", "4", "-k", "uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker". "-b", "0.0.0.0:8000"]
+```
+
+#### 6.2.1 One Server
+If you want to run with one server only, your setup should be ready. Just make sure the only part that is not a comment in `deafult.conf` is:
+```python
+# default.conf
+
+# ---------------- Running With One Server ----------------
+server {
+    listen 80;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://web:8000;
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 6.2.2 Multiple Servers
+NGINX can distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers, improving the efficiency and capacity utilization of your application.
+
+To run with multiple servers, just comment the `Running With One Server` part in `default.conf` and Uncomment the other one:
+```python
+# default.conf
+
+# ---------------- Running With One Server ----------------
+...
+
+# ---------------- To Run with Multiple Servers, Uncomment below ----------------
+upstream fastapi_app {
+    server fastapi1:8000;  # Replace with actual server names or IP addresses
+    server fastapi2:8000;
+    # Add more servers as needed
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 80;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://fastapi_app; 
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+> [!WARNING]
+> Note that we are using `fastapi1:8000` and `fastapi2:8000` as examples, you should replace it with the actual name of your service and the port it's running on.
