Django, why would I need nginx and uWSGI during hosting?

I have experience in hosting simple Django projects in Pythonanywhere platform(I did't have to install nginx and uWSGI ).

Many people use nginx+Uwsgi with Django, why would that required ?

I hope nginx is a web server, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache. Uwsgi is a webs server gateway interface.

Does all those things are being included default in Heroku / Pythonanywhere platforms ?
