AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Web Server Software (NGINX Versus Apache)

The video tutorial discusses the dominance of Nginx and Apache in the web server market, highlighting their combined market share. It compares the two technologies, focusing on their design, performance, and configuration differences. Nginx excels in handling static content and concurrent connections, while Apache is better for dynamic content. The video also covers the community support for both servers and their integration as a reverse proxy configuration to leverage their strengths.
