Why Use Nginx Health Badges?
Nginx sits in front of everything — and an unpatched reverse proxy is a single point of compromise. A health badge in your infrastructure docs shows whether your Nginx version is still receiving security patches, without digging through the changelog.
ReleaseRun badges go beyond Shields.io. Where Shields.io shows a version number, our badges show security posture: CVE counts, EOL countdowns, and a composite health grade based on freshness (35%), security (35%), and support status (30%).
Common Use Cases
- DevOps teams: Embed badges in runbooks or Grafana dashboards to track Nginx versions across ingress controllers, load balancers, and reverse proxies. When a CVE drops for your Nginx version, the badge turns red before your scanner does.
- Kubernetes operators: Add Nginx version badges to your ingress controller documentation. NGINX Ingress Controller versions map to specific Nginx builds — knowing the health of both matters.
- Hosting providers: Show customers which Nginx version is running on their tier and whether it’s still in the support window.
What Makes These Different
Every badge pulls live data from the endoflife.date API and the NIST National Vulnerability Database. Data refreshes every 6 hours. Badges are edge-cached for 5 minutes — fast enough for monitoring dashboards and documentation sites.

Upgrade Guidance
Running an older version of Nginx? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:
- Check breaking changes in release notes
- Review EOL dates for your current version
- Test in staging before production rollout
- Consider LTS versions for stability
