Basically. My general setup (to the extent that it is reasonable) is to set up my web apps as a collection of freestanding APIs that simply send and receive JSON. The only component in common between the APIs is the back end database(s). This way I can write each API using the framework/language that makes most sense for the task and simply chuck Nginx in front of the whole thing to have it route requests to the right back end.
