How do you implement static content delivery on a production server?

To deliver static content on a production server, specialized web servers or CDNs are usually used, which are optimized for fast file delivery.

In Python applications (such as Flask or Django), static content (CSS, JS, images) is typically not served by the application itself, but separate servers (Nginx, Apache) are configured for direct file delivery.

Example with Nginx:

location /static/ {
    alias /path/to/static/files/;
    expires 30d;
    add_header Cache-Control "public";
}

This helps to offload the application and improve performance.

If you need to serve static content from Python, for example, Flask has a special folder called static, and Flask can serve files from it itself, but this is suitable only for development, not for production.
