The color diagram is great for read.
I have a question, does Node and Go need a standalone app server?
The article has an auto generated directory, hope Devto provide this directory function in the future, it's great for read long post.

Hi chenge,
I'll try to answer your question even if I'm unsure I understood it correctly.
Rails uses Unicorn or Puma because Ruby's default webserver, webrick, is just basic. I personally prefer Puma over Unicorn because Unicorn is not great with slow clients (so you need a reverse proxy) and Unicorn is not multi-threaded.
Node.js incorporates a server that is production ready so you don't really need an external one. Same with Go.
Thanks! Got it.
I heard Passenger support Rust. Is Rust not like Go?
Passenger is a generic language application server. Especially from the newly released version 6 it supports many languages.
Rust is not like Go. They are both static typed but Go has garbage collection, Rust doesn't. Go is easier to pick up because it only has a few concepts, Rust is a little harder to pick up but it guarantees memory safety. Go is server oriented, Rust is a systems language (though you can use them for different things). They both compile to native binaries
Why does Go need Passenger? What does Passenger provide?
You should probably read the link I put in the previous comment - blog.phusion.nl/2018/11/30/passeng... - to have a better answer:
Passenger has tools that give you insight on what's going on inside your webserver, supports multiple apps inside the same app server (so you might have one app written in Go and another one in Ruby all handled by the same server).
So, maybe if you have an app made by different pieces written in different languages you want to standardize the web server layer, use the same tooling and deployment. Passenger is a way to do it.
