Amazon S3 Web Server?
发布于 2020-11-28 09:59:06
I am a Computer Science student and I am developing a Flask app and trying to deploy it on the web with Google Compute Engine.
From what I understood, between the end-user (client) and my Flask app, there is at least 2 major elements:
- Web-server
(NGINX, Apache) - App-Server
(Gunicorn, Uwsgi) - Your Python App (
Flask)
I went on multiple websites to look what web-servers they were using and I saw a lot of Amazon S3 web-server. Does it means that Amazon has it own Web-Server or they are using NGINX under the wood? I am extremely confused about it.

Thanks for your answer it's clear. So I have a Flask App, I can host static files (public_html) on Amazon S3 and the leftover on a Uwsgi for example?
Yes, depending on the requirements you have your options from the Flask app are Lightsail (less demanding/smaller requirements), ECS with Fargate or EC2 Instances. You can host your static files on S3, but depending on the amount it might not be worth the effort.
