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?

U didnt mention where does API is situated in the architecture. Is it before Web server or Before Application server.

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

[DanBP]

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

[Shr]

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

[sowmithrivaradarajan]

Can an application server also act as a web server?

[usaamahahmed]

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?

[Abhijitkamath]
