Apache or Nginx for a Craft site Any recommendations as to whether it is better to use Apache or Nginx for a Craft website?

If the answer is "it depends", could you please delineate some of the advantages and disadvantages of each option?
There is no "this over that" for Craft specifically. Your own statement "it depends" plays a big role. I would read this pretty extensive post on DigitalOcean "Apache vs Nginx: Practical Considerations" as a good start on what software to use.

For me personally this has always been the key difference in choosing between the two:


  In terms of real world use-cases, one of the most common comparisons between Apache and Nginx is the way in which each server handles requests for static and dynamic content.


Usually you don't need all the extra features Apache comes bundled with. You have your Craft website, that's it. Nginx (for me) has all the functions it requires and can handle a lot of requests on lower hardware. For me personally that's key.
