(Disclaimer: I'm not a user of either Mongrel2 or uWSGI, but I
follow closely their progress.)
From my point of view it all boils down to this:
* Mongrel2 only handles the HTTP part -- it either proxies,
statically serves content, or it's main usage, forwards requests to
handlers;
* uWSGI acts like an application container, providing everything
from HTTP handling, process supervision, scheduler, and many other
features I've not included here;
I'm not saying one is better than another, but I would personally
prefer Mongrel2 because it does only one thing: HTTP handling. For the
rest you are free to use whatever you want: runit, supervised, etc.
for supervision, and so on.
However they do have one nice feature in common -- that I fail to
see in other projects -- they provide pluginable configuration
modules, allowing you to configure the servers from text files to
databases, or any other source that you code a plugin for.
Hope it proves useful,
Ciprian.
