Treehouse Guest TeacherFlask is running a WSGI process, if I remember correctly, named Werkzeug. Basically, it brings its own server with it for development purposes. If you were deploying this to the internet, you'd want to use something like Gunicorn or uWSGI and a server like Nginx or Apache with mod_wsgi.
