With AngularJs + Web API, why we need ASP.NET MVC and IIS?

With AngularJs + Web API, why we need ASP.NET MVC and IIS?

Can I just use AngularJS plus WEB API to develop a web application without IIS and ASP.NET MVC ?

It is definitely possible from the technology point view. I see 2 areas of concern:

  1. Would clients with outdated browsers have problems accessing the site? This is less of a problem as new versions of browsers are getting released.

  2. Are the non-IIS hosted hosted Web API services robust and scalable enough?

By off-loading all the logic onto the client without providing a server side fallback, you cause the site to break when the JS doesn't load, including for search engine indexing bots.

Yes, it will just be fragile and invisible to search engines.
