A web server vs. an app server
When you research how to deploy your Rails app, you’ll see a lot of names: Apache, Unicorn, Puma, Phusion Passenger, Nginx, Rainbows, and many more. Some are “web servers,” and others are “app servers.” But what’s a web server, and how is it different than an app server? Can you use one without the other? And where does Rack fit in?
