uWSGI is a fast (pure C), self-healing, developer/sysadmin-friendly application container server. Born as a WSGI-only server, over time it has evolved in a complete stack for networked/clustered web applications, implementing message/object passing, caching, RPC and process management. It uses the uwsgi (all lowercase, already included by default in the Nginx and Cherokee releases) protocol for all the networking/interprocess communications. Can be run in preforking mode, threaded, asynchronous/evented and supports various form of green threads/co-routine (like uGreen and Fiber). Sysadmin will love it as it can be configured via command line, environment variables, xml, .ini and yaml files and via LDAP.
