08/26/2020, 6:26 PMhi all, I'm looking into options for configuring my uwsgi python app to run with pex. I've found some ~5 year old discussions on the topic, many of which point back to https://github.com/kwlzn/pyuwsgi_pex.
Does anyone have a uwsgi + pex setup that they recommend, or is working well for you?

08/26/2020, 6:57 PMit isn’t uwsgi but, here at Toolchain, our internal services are using gunicorn running from a pex (and fronted by nginx in a separate container in our Kubernetes pod)

08/26/2020, 6:58 PMgunicorn could be an option for me. It does look like it connects a bit smoother out of the box (no need to have a bootstrap.py, if I understand correctly)

08/26/2020, 7:01 PMwe basically build an image with docker that contains the pex for the app and (since it is a Django app) has the static files extracted at a known path in the image

08/26/2020, 7:08 PMthe main module for our startup is generic across our services and figures out what django configuration to use it and sets up gunicorn with it. I imagine in the less generic case, your main module for your pex would just call into gunicorn (or uswgi) to listen on a port known to whatever is fronting the server (e.g., nginx in our case)
