Answer 1

Kibana 4 requires use of its own app-server to run for some advanced features that can't be implemented in pure JS:

rashidkpc:

The integrated web server will become a required part of Kibana 4 as we move towards implementing features that can not be fully realized in javascript, for this reason we do not support separating the frontend from the new backend for the purpose of running on a 3rd party web server.

spenceralger:

Using your server as a reverse proxy that transmits requests back to Kibana shouldn't be hard with most modern servers.
