The Gunicorn "Green Unicorn" (pronounced jee-unicorn or gun-i-corn){{Cite web|url=https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/139|title=Ambiguous Pronunciation · Issue #139 · benoitc/gunicorn|website=GitHub|language=en|access-date=2018-08-02}} is a Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) HTTP server. It is a pre-fork worker model, ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with a number of web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources and fairly fast.[http://gunicorn.org/ Gunicorn-Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX] It is often paired with Nginx, as the two have complementary features.[https://vsupalov.com/gunicorn-and-nginx/ Gunicorn and Nginx in a Nutshell]
