Overview

uWSGI is an open source application server for hosting Python WSGI web applications (and, via its plugins, many other languages). It runs your app in a supervised pool of worker processes, load balances requests across them, restarts crashed workers automatically, and exposes a live stats interface for visibility into worker health and request load. Running in Emperor mode it can host one or many apps on a single node, each as an isolated vassal, with nginx as the front door over a fast unix socket.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers uWSGI preinstalled and integrated with nginx, hardened and fully patched, with a Python WSGI demo app already serving so you can confirm the application server the moment the instance boots. The pinned uWSGI build reports its exact version, the stats server is bound to loopback only, there is no admin login surface to secure, and every instance ships with a paired deployment guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Hosting Python WSGI web applications behind nginx
  • Running several apps on one node with the uWSGI Emperor
  • Serving Flask, Django or FastAPI backends in production
