Does Sololearn use different server applications for the App and web versions?

When my network was on but my SL App was saying that it was Offline, I could still access the web version on a browser.

Yes, the app recently switched to Linux servers, but the website is still on Windows servers for the time being.

Thanks Anthony Quick . What would happen if the web version also one day migrated to Linux? Will multiple server applications still be used to support the web and App versions?

Anthony Quick yes that makes sense. Thanks for the info. Different servers make sense from a redundancy/availability point of view. I wonder if they would still use the same code base even if multiple servers are used, which would make maintenance easier.

We are now using Linux for app and web as well, try running this code from web{browser}: https://code.sololearn.com/cNMtM57fqhvy/?ref=app

Sonic I'm actually hoping it does migrate in Linux soon, but we'll see I guess. The best option would be if they put the app and the website on different servers or clusters, but I guess only time will tell. Since the Linux shift though, the app has been much more stable, so I presume the website would benefit as well.
