Docker options for serving static assets using webpackDevServer

I'm using webpack-dev-server for dev and a NODE_ENV=production webpack -p --progress --config ./webpack.prod.config.js command for a test production build. The test production build outputs static files to a dist folder.

To Dockerise this application, initially, in the most simplest fashion coming from using webpack-dev-server for serving assets, should one either:

1. serve up these static assets using an nginx image?
2. create a node/express server (in the app) and use a node image?

Which implementation would scale best for both dev/prod environments and for it to be part of a AWS microservices architecture later on?
