The API and website are hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance using Nginx as the web server. Nginx handles incoming HTTP(S) requests, with all HTTP traffic redirected to HTTPS for security.
The static website for zeshanmahmood.com and www.zeshanmahmood.com is served directly by Nginx from the specified directory. SSL certificates are managed by Certbot for secure HTTPS access.
The API, accessible at api.zeshanmahmood.com, is also hosted on the EC2 instance. Nginx proxies API requests to the backend application running locally on port 3000, ensuring secure communication with SSL termination.
The full codebase for this API is available on my GitHub at https:/github.com/zmahm/expressportfolio, where you can explore the source code and configuration in detail.
