How We Switched Our 800+ Projects from Apache to uWSGI

Discover how a company successfully migrated over 800 PHP and Python projects from Apache+nginx to uWSGI+nginx in this informative conference talk. Learn about the challenges faced with the previous setup, the reasons for switching, and the solutions explored before adopting uWSGI. Gain insights into uWSGI's features, its simplified configuration compared to Apache, and the process of transitioning projects developed across different languages and versions. Explore the benefits of this migration, including improved memory management, simplified development, and easier administration. Focus primarily on Python projects while covering topics such as automatic code reloading, uWSGI plugins, Emperor mode, directory monitoring, and configuration systems. Understand the importance of thorough testing and not blindly trusting assumptions during such a large-scale migration.
