    Hi @Srikanth ,

    According to my research, currently there is no way to add services on web front server in SharePoint 2019 farm.

    The Web Front End (WFE) server is a server that handles web page requests from users. Thus, each time the user opens a SharePoint page in a browser, it is processed by the WFE server. SharePoint farm may have several such servers. In this case, Network Load Balancer is distributing requests between them. It is the way to scale SharePoint.
