In Heroku, you can deploy Node.js app directly.

But for DO or AWS, Docker is a better option, I think.

But indeed, Nginx seems to have a better performance for serving static files. I don't know much about reverse proxy. I think it is about DevOps and real production environment, which might cost a little money, if you use too much.

But I indeed have touch both Apache and Nginx when I use PHP.

If i have a server, how should i deploy a simple app builded in Node and React (Digital ocean and Heroku are not a option)

Where do you plan to deploy?

Thanks for your answer, no, I just want to know how Heroku or DO serve this type of applications, that's all.
