# Sample Nginx configuration for a web application
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
    }
}

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The API and frontend are deployed as separate services.

The architecture routes requests to different backend services depending on the URL path (e.g., root to frontend service, /api to backend service), which implies the API and frontend are deployed as separate services. Option A is incorrect because logging is not configured in this setup. Option C is incorrect because only a single routing point is shown, not a load balancer distributing across multiple servers. Option D is incorrect because there is no HTTPS configuration (e.g., no encrypted port or TLS settings).
