I'm using Apache2 + mod_wsgi 2.0 as a process controller and nginx to serve static content and proxy dynamic requests to apache2. Apache2 uses the worker (threaded) MPM and is configured to be pretty lightweight [1] by only loading a minimal set of modules, turning keep-alive off and having a limited amount of threads. This is possible because it runs behind nginx which takes care of spoon-feeding the slow clients over a keep-alive connection making dynamic requests to the Apache backend quite fast since they're local. Since nginx does some caching of the response, these requests are quite fast and don't tie up a heavy python process for too long so a small pool of workers can handle moderately high loads. The reason I use it over paster+supervisord is because I find it *much* easier to set up and maintain and more powerful (mod_wsgi can be configured to spawn wsgi applications into separate processes under their own user/group, restart them if they crash, kill them if they deadlock, isolate them in their own virtualenv, etc...). As you see, It's more or less the typical supervisord + paster + nginx setup but changing paster and supervisord with apache+mod_wsgi because I find the later much easier to configure and maintain. Alberto [1] The master process only eats around 4M resident size on my machine. The slave processes which host the python app take up much more but I guess it's roughly the same they would take using paster or any other python webserver since it is the actual python app. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
