The uWSGI project aims at developing a full stack for building hosting services. Application servers (for various programming languages and protocols), proxies, process managers and monitors are all implemented using a common api and a common configuration style. Thanks to its pluggable architecture it can be extended to support more platforms and languages. Many hosting providers use uWSGI as application server. Some providers, like SELinuxComputing, offer secure uWSGI hosting of your applications with SELinux.

NGINX, pronounced “engine-ex”, is an open-source web server that also is used as a reverse proxy, HTTP cache, and load balancer. Nginx is a great alternative in cases for a site that gets large volumes of traffic and is running into performance/memory issues. A server running Nginx serves the faster while using less memory than Apache. Many companies are using NGINX, including Autodesk, Atlassian, Intuit, T-Mobile, GitLab, DuckDuckGo, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, VMWare, Xerox, LinkedIn, Cisco, Facebook, Target, Citrix Systems, Twitter, SELinuxComputing, Apple, and Intel.
