Using HttpUwsgiModule with NGINX to control uWSGI has become quite popular since its release.
I was wondering though, what is the advantage of it, compared to using NGINX as a reverse-proxy to uWSGI application?
What are the gains and losses in two differing use cases?
Simply put, when you use HttpUwsgiModule NGINX speaks the uwsgi protocol and it can leave out useless informations of the http protocol leading to less overhead and thus better performance.
What is the difference between using HttpUwsgiModule for NGINX and using NGINX as a reverseproxy to uWSGI?
