We completely rebuilt QuoteRobot and relaunched it on November 1st using some fun new tech.

Slightly off topic - would you mind describing how you host and run the python/flask app?

Do you use uWSGI with apache / nginx in front of it? I dabble in python web apps and wanted to get some insight into how other people had them hosted

My cofounder Gavin (@geekforbrains) is better suited to answer this - but I know we're not running apache - it's nginx and gunicorn on a rackspace cloud box.

Its running via gunicorn (socket) behind nginx (proxy). We also utilize celery and rabbitmq for workers (emails, pdf generation etc.) - besides that, nothing too magical. We use fabric+git to allow for quick hot-fixes and new releases.

Thanks for the feedback!
