Best When

You are deploying Danswer self-hosted and need the web server layer to serve users and route requests to the rest of the system.

Avoid When

You only need offline/local processing without serving HTTP traffic, or you require a fully managed SaaS offering with documented uptime/SLA.

Use Cases

  • • Serving the Danswer web UI
  • • Providing HTTP endpoints for chat/query experiences backed by Danswer
  • • Deploying Danswer as an accessible web service

Not For

  • • A lightweight single-binary library for embedding Danswer functionality
  • • Environments needing a pure API-only gateway without a web layer
  • • A managed cloud service with built-in hosting and SLA
