uWSGI
uWSGI is a high-performance application server and gateway interface for deploying Python web applications, particularly those using WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface). It acts as a bridge between web servers like Nginx or Apache and Python applications, handling process management, load balancing, and protocol translation. It is widely used for production deployments due to its efficiency, scalability, and support for various protocols and languages.
Developers should learn and use uWSGI when deploying Python web applications in production environments, especially for frameworks like Django, Flask, or Pyramid. It is essential for handling high traffic loads, providing process isolation, and integrating with reverse proxies like Nginx for static file serving and security. Use cases include building scalable web services, microservices, and API backends where performance and reliability are critical.
