The uWSGI project aims at developing a full stack for building (and hosting) clustered/distributed network applications.

Mainly targeted at the web and its standards, it has been successfully used in a lot of different contexts.

Thanks to its pluggable architecture it can be extended without limits to support more platforms and languages. Currently, you can write plugins in C, C++ and Objective-C.

The “WSGI” part in the name is a tribute to the namesake Python standard, as it has been the first developed plugin for the project.

Versatility, performance, low-resource usage and reliability are the strengths of the project (and the only rules followed).
