The short answer is: Yes
Long answer is: looking at the skeleton code in the repo, it's setup for development to run 2 servers (a server just serving static files for the svelt app PORT=3000, and a server running the API PORT=3001) https://github.com/beeeeep54/rust-typescript/blob/main/backe...
But I have seen people do that but:
- Package it into 1 docker container (or 1 service for lack of a better term) that runs both with a proxy that's only there in "prod" deployment not local development. so inside the container it's 2 processes, but outside it's like 1 selfcontained application
- enable a static server on the API endpoint once deployed. It's usually 1 line in most web framework. Something like `app.serveStatic("/", "./static")`. In this case it's 1 server doing both
- Deploy them as 2 different services that scale and are managed
Read the rest
completely independently. Could as well be 2 different teams or even companies doing frontend vs backend development (with that same setup of style. Though probably you won't be working in the same repo then)
then take all that and multiply it by 2 or 4 for all the proxy/path/domain permutations
