Hi Prefect experts, I am wondering what is the web server that manages the prefect UI. I do not see that is being part of prefect core server architecture unless the web server is incorporated as one of the component like Apollo etc.

Hi @liren zhang - the Prefect UI is spun up as a separate container alongside the other services (like Apollo) with static files served by nginx, is that what you meant?

Search up nginx and saw it was a web server. So I think you have answered my initial question. so I am assuming prefect UI starts up a nginx docker container. Are there any more details how Nginx is being used by prefect UI?

I'd encourage you to take a look at the UI repo for more information on that. You can find the
nginx.conf
file here, the script that starts the server here, and the dockerfile here.
