Even after F5 Networks bought NGINX Inc., the latter continued to conduct its main development in Moscow. "Due to geopolitics, in early 2022, F5 Networks decided to close the Moscow office, part of the team was relocated to Dubai and the United States, but half of the employees did not want to leave and remained in Russia," said Ivan Poluyanov. As if anticipating the development of events, Igor Sysoev left NGINX in January 2022. "Do Svidaniya, Igor, and thank you for NGINX," Rob Whitney, general manager of the NGINX product group, wrote in the corporate blog at the time.

Web-Server LLC is afraid of saudi arabia cell phone number list patent claims from NGINX/F5 Networks, Ivan Poluyanov said: "ANGIE is significantly different from Nginx. And our product vision is in line with the trend of web server development in the world."

"Investments in the project at the first stage amounted to about $1 million. First of all, we are targeting the Russian market, but foreign companies are already showing interest in our development," said Zaur Abasmirzoev, CEO of Web-Server LLC. According to Web-Server, the project's investors were the developers themselves and former managers of Rambler Group, Zaur Abasmirzoev and Anton Klyuchkin.

"Web Server" reported that ANGIE is being developed exclusively in Russia, and the finished product will have an open source code, which the company will later place in the trusted repository of the Ministry of Digital Development. The creation of a national repository of open source software and the placement of software in it, including that created using budget funds, is provided for by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 10, 2022 No. 1804 "On conducting an experiment to grant the right to use programs for electronic computers ... under the terms of an open license and creating conditions for the use of open software." As explained by the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development, the work will begin on November 1, 2022, and the experiment will be completed by April 30, 2024. At the same time, the resolution already contains a form of an open license, under the terms of which government agencies and corporations will publish software in the repository.

According to the developers, ANGIE copes better with scaling and fault tolerance tasks thanks to the functionality of dynamic reconfiguration. As Ivan Poluyanov explained, dynamic reconfiguration allows owners of large Internet resources to manage the load more effectively and launch new web services without downtime.
