- **Robust metrics**: A plethora of [additional Prometheus metrics]({{< ref "/ngf/monitoring/prometheus.md" >}}) are available.
- **Live activity monitoring**: The [NGINX Plus dashboard]({{< ref "/ngf/monitoring/dashboard.md" >}}) shows real-time metrics and information about your server infrastructure.
- **Dynamic upstream configuration**: NGINX Plus can dynamically reconfigure upstream servers when applications in Kubernetes scale up and down, preventing the need for an NGINX reload.
- **Session persistence**: NGINX Plus provides support for cookie-based session persistence, allowing client requests to be consistently routed to the same upstream pod.
- **Load balancing methods**: NGINX Plus provides advanced, latency-aware load balancing methods (such as `least_time` and `least_time last_byte inflight`) that route traffic based on time to first byte or full response, optionally factoring in in-flight requests for smarter upstream selection.
- **Support**: With an NGINX Plus license, you can take advantage of full [support](https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000140156/) from NGINX, Inc.
