Do I need NGINX in Kubernetes for Flask/Django deployment?

So I have a bunch of flask apps and a bunch of django apps that need to be thrown onto K8s to then communicate together. Now, I understand I need a WSGI server on each of the containers I deploy. However do I need to deploy an NGINX container to forward the requests to the WSGI servers, or can I just deploy the pods containing the containers inside the service and the service will sort it out?

no need for NGINX in this case, also you can use ingress instead https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/ to manages external access to the services (internally it uses nginx).
