I've been using uWSGI behind NGINX (using uwsgi_pass) for years. It might not be the absolute fastest option around but it's faster than a lot of the other options, rock solid and extremely configurable. Some fun extra features that uWSGI provides: - Daemon management: It can manage other daemons, for example Celery, for you, so you can put your whole environment into a single uWSGI.conf. - A cron-like interface for generating events on a schedule. - Emperor - hosting of multiple apps. This is extremely configurable, you can have the server look at the filesystem for config files for the simplest setup but it also supports AQMP, a Postgres database, MongoDB, a shell command or a bunch of other things. It has a bunch of interesting isolation options, like running each app in its own Linux namespace. It also has (optional) socket activation, so apps won't be started until the first request. - Auto-scaling - Soon, multiple event-loop/IO subsystems to choose from, including asyncio I've been meaning to have a look at nginx-unit though.
