About

Gunicorn ("Green Unicorn") is a Python WSGI HTTP server for UNIX, a pre-fork worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn project.

Nginx is a lightweight, high-performance open-source HTTP server and reverse proxy designed for handling large volumes of concurrent connections with low memory usage.
