Links I looked up while learning how to configure Nginx and Gunicorn for my Flask application

So, I looked up a lot of links while learning how to configure Gunicorn and Nginx for a Flask app I’m building. An article on the specifics of what I learnt will follow this one. This one focuses on the links and resources themselves -

First of all, you’re probably asking - Why do I need Gunicorn and Nginx? That’s what I looked up first as well.

• https://serverfault.com/questions/331256/why-do-i-need-nginx-and-something-like-gunicorn

Next, how to actually go about the whole process?

The obvious links:

• https://gunicorn.org/#quickstart
• https://www.linode.com/docs/web-servers/nginx/how-to-configure-nginx/
• http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html
• https://www.fullstackpython.com/green-unicorn-gunicorn.html

Quora is generally useless nowadays but this was as a proper answer:

• https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-nginx-and-gunicorn/answer/Pramod-Lakshmanan

The architecture of Nginx is very well explained here:

This link was really helpful

Some Stackoverflow answers that helped:

What’s next?

I want to hook up icinga to see if it’s going to serve my monitoring purpose. I don’t know anything about Icinga at the time of writing this note -

• https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-icinga-to-monitor-your-servers-and-services-on-ubuntu-14-04

Note -

This link I accidentally found in the process explaining architectures of a lot of Open Source systems. This is pretty awesome.
