How would you design an Nginx configuration to handle a high volume of concurrent requests while ensuring zero downtime during deployments?

COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN AN NGINX CONFIGURATION TO HANDLE A HIGH VOLUME OF CONCURRENT REQUESTS WHILE ENSURING ZERO DOWNTIME DURING DEPLOYMENTS?

To handle high concurrency in Nginx, I would leverage techniques such as load balancing with upstream servers, enabling keepalive connections, and implementing rate limiting. For zero downtime deployments, I would use the ‘try_files’ directive in conjunction with a graceful reload methodology to minimize service interruptions.
