Now I should mention that the difference between load balancer and a reverse proxy is that with the load balancer we were sending traffic to two servers, whereas the reverse proxy can run inside the same NGINX server. So if you are trying to save money, you could in theory run the Flask application in the same server and have NGINX proxy that traffic internally.

You can quickly do SSH node 01 to SSH into the other one or node 2. Let me clear this out and I'm going to be in the NGINX to configure a reverse…
