This can be done separately, but having it as part of the same web server is extremely handy for both local development and for small-time deployments that won't handle much traffic. Admin tooling: This is arguably a quality-of-life issue, not a necessity, except that every time you setup your application in a local environment or in production you're going to have to bootstrap it with at least one user or some data. The goal for newt is to be able to create a new small web app and start on the actual project in minutes instead of days, bypassing the entire process of wiring things up.
