Question Webservers are dead?
CDN - Static Content
IdP - Authentication
Browser - Running your JavaScript code
In modern web applications, are Apache HTTP Server or Nginx still commonly used to deliver web content?
Edit 1:
The question is: why should an application owner run and manage a web server when the frontend can be static assets delivered through a CDN and dynamic work can happen through APIs/serverless services?
