It's always nginx for me when I actually need to put something into production, but 9/10 times, I just write my own HTTP(S) server with Go.

Apache feels too bloated.
IIS is Microsoft so 🤷‍♂️.

For security and performance reasons, it is usually advised to host production apps of any kind behind a reverse proxy. There are many out there to choose from.
