What are the key responsibilities for Nginx versus Uvicorn?
This tests the reverse-proxy versus ASGI-server boundary. A strong answer gives Nginx TLS termination, static files, buffering, and load balancing, while Uvicorn runs the Python app and async workers.
This tests whether you understand the architectural boundary between a reverse proxy and an ASGI server in production. A strong answer assigns four responsibilities to Nginx: TLS termination, static asset serving, request buffering and slow-client protection, and upstream load balancing across multiple Uvicorn workers. Uvicorn should handle running the Python ASGI application, managing the async event loop, and executing FastAPI path operations.
