How does a Web Application Work?
A web application is built around three components- a Web Server, an Application Server, and a Database. The web server manages requests from the client, the application server processes requests, and the database stores the information.
- 1. User triggers a request to the web server, either through a web browser or the application’s user interface, over the internet.
- 2. Web server receives the request from the browser.
- 3. Web server then instructs the appropriate web application server to process the request.
- 4. Application server performs the requested task and generates the result.
- 5. Web server displays the requested information of a user on the screen.
