So an application server contains a web server. Have a video request? Please leave a comment.

Questions. I'm still confused where the web server comes in. In your last slide we see how the App Server connects to the API. But what about the Web server? Is it just that in cases where you have an API, you don't have a web server, you only have an app server?

So an API is an app server? Or it runs on an App server? For instance if I have static content hosted on GitHub, then served through Heroku along with an API which communicates with a MongoDB database, is my Heroku deployment serving both as a web server (for the static GitHub frontend content) and an app server (for the API)? Also, I see the term 'business logic' used often when describing what an app server does, but I'm not sure how it applies. Are my API endpoints which modify the database considered business logic?

Sites where users go to download mp3, video files from are generally served by web servers. Web apps like Facebook, Twitter etc., are generally served by application servers. All the images and videos we see in our FB, Twitter feeds are also served by web servers.

Greetings to you, How can I configure a web server on my home wireless router. Do you have an explanation for that

@CodeLitDev 3 жыл бұрын

You can install something like Apache which is a very popular webserver.

Sorry, I’m a beginner, but at 4:50 where are you “hosting” your application server ?

@Sh1r449 4 жыл бұрын

how do you separate a web server from an application server?

@animeshsingh4290 3 жыл бұрын

Imo, the place where the data is saved something like firebase would be a web server and your app hosted on heroku would be a application server

An application server runs the code of an API.

@usaamahahmed1282 5 жыл бұрын

I thought the logic in the application server processes the data and api is the one that sends out the data....is that not not true?

@CodeLitDev 5 жыл бұрын

The reverse is true actually.

@usaamahahmed1282 5 жыл бұрын

So application server sends out the data and the api transforms the data into a common language for servers to communicate with each other?

@CodeLitDev 5 жыл бұрын

Yes

So an API acts a middle man or Interpreter?
