Secrets of a WSGI master.
summary
Argues that WSGI still meets most needs and shows concrete fixes: mod_wsgi-express and ability to pip install mod_wsgi remove old installation pain, Django management integration boots a production-grade server, and warpdrive builds Docker images and OpenShift-ready deployments. Recommends daemon mode over embedded, documents startup/socket/request timeouts that auto-recover stuck workers, and exposes event hooks/metrics for tuning capacity. Demonstrations and tools are shown working in containers and local dev, with defaults and examples that make mod_wsgi practical rather than legacy trivia.
