We can integrate Superset with many web server options, such as Gunicorn, NGINX, and Apache HTTP, depending on our runtime requirements.

Web servers handle HTTP or HTTPS requests. A Superset web server typically processes a large number of such requests to render charts. Each request generates an I/O-bound database query in Superset. This query is not CPU-bound because the query execution happens at the database level and the result is returned to Superset by the database query execution engine. Requests to a Superset web server almost always require a dynamic output and not a static resource as a response. Gunicorn is a Python WSGI HTTP server. WSGI is a Python application interface based on the Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 333 standard. It specifies how Python applications interface with a web server. Gunicorn is the recommended web server for deploying a Superset web app.
