Apache2 + mod_wsgi VS. Nginx + gunicorn

Pythonistas,

Apache2 + mod_wsgi (pronounced "mod_whiskey" but with a "G") has long been the recommended front end setup for serving django-built web apps.
Enter Nginx (pronounced "engine x") and it's sidekick gunicorn - a formidable tag team that gives mod_wsgi hipsters a run for their money!

Some say one pair is faster. Others say the other is easier to setup.

No more hearsay!

On the 25th, for our first "no-presentation but hands-on only" meetup, we deploy and run both with django and reveal for ourselves the pros and cons of each pair of technologies.

The kind folks (http://kili.io/#team) over at Kili Cloud (http://kili.io) have agreed to provide virtual machines for this exercise. So send me your public keys and I will spin you up an instance for the session!

I hope to see you all there!
