The Gunicorn "Green Unicorn" (pronounced jee-unicorn)[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

  • Requests are handled by worker processes
  • Components:

    • Sync Workers
    • Async Workers
    • Tornado Workers
    • AsyncIO Workers

Features

  • Natively supports WSGI, web2py, Django and Paster
  • Automatic worker process management
  • Simple Python configuration
