[Yanel-dev] performance

[basZero]

Yes.

Although there are many reasons why a web server would make sense:
- With a web server in place you can also scale horizontally, not only
vertically
- With a web server, you can serve static content directly from the web
server (the current buzz word for this is CDN, Content Delivery Network)
- With a web server, you can introduce many features like:
a) load balancing over multiple app servers
b) or run 1 app server only but you have a second as a hot standby
(failover)
c) you can switch very fast between a downtime page and the actual app
d) if you have multiple domains and apps, you can host all apps on the same
app server, the port mapping is done by the web server.
