We use expires max to keep static files cached in the browser as long as possible. When we redeploy I'd like to force the user's browser to dump its cached files. Is there a way do this with nginx?
I'm looking for an overly simplified answer to the following question. I'm trying to build a foundational understanding of how Nginx works alongside something like Gunicorn.
Do I need both Nginx and something like Gunicorn to deploy Django apps on Nginx?
If so, what actually handles the HTTP requests?
Ps. I don't want to use Apache and mod_wsgi!
