In this chapter, we will cover the following points:
- Things needed to properly host an Angular app on an Apache server

- To automate deployment with GitHub Service Hooks and SSH
- To optimize Apache's configuration to support the use of Google's PageSpeed Service and Angular's HTML5Mode
- To avoid some gotchas and pitfalls along the way
