Nginx Unit in relation to PSGI/Dancer stack

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Crossposted from stackoverflow.com/questions/50173648/nginx-unit-in-relation-to-psgi-dancer-stack

According to Nginx goes beyond its server roots and launches its application platform

"..Unit is a modern application server for applications written in PHP, Python and Go (with support for node.js, Java, Ruby Perl and others following soon), that run in dynamic environments."

Where does Unit fit in a ngnix->PSGI->Starman->Dancer stack? which part does it replace or adds to?

It would, apparently, replace Starman (the application server, the persistence layer and manager of processes). I have no experience at all with nginx Unit yet but nginx proper deserves mad respect, my only choice when I'm allowed to choose, so I have little doubt Unit will be wonderful if it isn't already. I've harped on it before but I'll say again uWSGI is far better than all the Perl alternatives for app servers. I have no idea how it stacks up against Unit today.	[reply]

This article : "An explanation of the nginx/starman/dancer web stack" is better written than I could attempt. It includes a link to an explanation of Why use nginx with Catalyst/Plack/Starman?. Oops : missed the part where you were focusing on Unit. Sorry - I don't know that. Memory fault -- brain fried	[reply]
