The Gunicorn "Green Unicorn" (pronounced jee-unicorn or gun-i-corn)[2] is a Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) HTTP server. It is a pre-fork worker model, ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with a number of web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources and fairly fast.[3]

Architecture

Server Model

  • Central Master Process to manage the workers
  • Requests are handled by worker processes
  • Components:
    • Master
    • Sync Workers
    • Async Workers
    • Tornado Workers
    • AsyncIO Workers

Features

  • Natively supports WSGI, web2py, Django and Paster
  • Automatic worker process management
  • Simple Python configuration
  • Multiple worker configurations
  • Various server hooks for extensibility
  • Compatible with Python 2.6+ and Python 3.2+[4]
