It's not necessarily a bad idea... as long as you secure it properly such that
user requests cannot hit Solr, only requests from your application can do so.
Eventually, perhaps, scale would be an issue and you'd want/need to separate
the tiers, but as long as you've got security and scalability covered there's
no reason not to deploy together like that.
