When is it better to use Apache, and when is it better to use Express?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Not so long ago I became interested in web development. I would like to understand in which cases it is better to use Apache, and in which cases you can get by with an Express server.

Answer 1

The comparison is not entirely correct. If you are writing server-side JavaScript under Node.js, then you use the built-in http server (express is an add-on for the built-in server that has little to do with the web server at all), and if you write in PHP or another language that works through CGI with Apache, then you are using Apache.
