Django, NGinX/FastCGI or Nginx+Apache/ModWSGI?

Question

Django

Knowledgeable people, tell me which link will work faster and better for a highly loaded site? Your suggestions are also welcome.

Answer 1

The choice strongly depends on the specifics of the application, do not be too lazy to test both bundles. I also advise you to pay attention to the nginx + uWSGI bundle

Answer 2

I am using Nginx + gunicorn in a high-load project.
Another high-load project successfully uses Apache + mod_wsgi.
But FastCGI would not advise. From time to time, problems got out with it (django fastcgi stopped responding under unclear circumstances, periodically there were problems with restart / shutdown of the fcgi daemon), it was not possible to drive it under runit. All this is probably solvable, but why suffer? ..

Answer 3

You will definitely not get a tangible increase in performance, so choose what you like best.
As the Disqus developers said, "bottleneck is in the application".
I myself use fastcgi everywhere.
