Supposed we had 3 web apps which up and running on their own ports.

• app1 : BASE_URL:7000
• app2 : BASE_URL:7001
• app3 : BASE_URL:7002

Now we already have our NGINX serving on port 80. So, opening a web browser and typing our server's URL will show us Welcome to nginx! page.

Now we want to have our apps to be accessed via URL, like:

• app1 : BASE_URL/app1
• app2 : BASE_URL/app2
• app3 : BASE_URL/app3

Instead of using port numbers. We can use NGINX for these requirements.
