The uWSGI project aims at developing a full stack for building hosting services.
Application servers (for various programming languages and protocols), proxies, process managers and monitors are all implemented using a common api and a common configuration style.
Thanks to its pluggable architecture it can be extended to support more platforms and languages. Currently, you can write plugins in C, C++ and Objective-C.
The Core (implements configuration, processes management, sockets creation, monitoring, logging, shared memory areas, ipc, cluster membership and the uWSGI Subscription Server)
Request plugins (implement application server interfaces for various languages and platforms: WSGI, PSGI, Rack, Lua WSAPI, CGI, PHP, Go …) Gateways (implement load balancers, proxies and routers). The Emperor (implements massive instances management and monitoring)
Loop engines (implement events and concurrency, components can be run in preforking, threaded, asynchronous/evented and green thread/coroutine modes. Various technologies are supported, including uGreen, Greenlet, Stackless, Gevent, Coro::AnyEvent, Tornado, Goroutines and Fibers).
