I bet if you switched to nginx, your server would use even less resources to handle the same amount of traffic.

- thraxil 14y agoHaving used nginx on other projects, I'm sure you're right. My blog setup is pretty old and hasn't really needed any improvements. On newer deployments, I'm still using Apache+mod_wsgi to manage the Django processes (it's a setup that has been reliable for me and that I know how to debug), but I'm sticking an nginx proxy in front as a matter of course. Not for performance reasons, but just to leave myself a hook for handling later changes. I can trivially spin up additional application backend servers and load balance across them, or quickly flick a switch to have nginx cache a particular resource in an emergency.
