What happens if you don't specify try_files?

Question

Nginx

I didn’t quite understand what would happen if try_files was not specified.
The request will be processed in the same way as if you specify try_files $uri =404; ?

Answer 1

type yes
try_files - changing the standard behavior "get the file from the local full path, gluing the request and checking aliases" to "search for the file over there"
"over there" - usually cache, upstream, another server, etc.
