[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Key Components of the Code

1. Load Required Modules:

Import necessary modules such as path, fs, and http/https for server functionalities. The node-static module serves static files from defined directories.

2. Define Applications:

Import your applications from folders where they are defined. In our case, these are ./folder1/app and ./folder2/app. Each application can have its own routes and middleware as needed.

3. Create Static Servers:

Initialize two static servers for each folder:

folder1 for the first application

folder2 for the second application

Load SSL certificates to support HTTPS. Ensure that you generate a certificate or use a valid one for a production environment.

5. Handle Incoming Requests:

6. Serve the Correct Application:

7. Start the Server:
