RE: is mpm_event safe for modperl handler? [EXT]

People use nginx - probably because they haven't come across mpm_event. The two are I think comparable speed wise, but out of the box mpm_event is more flexible - and the nice thing is that you can develop a site on a single mpm_worker instance and easily migrate over to the mpm_event/mpm_worker module.

It is nice to use the same configuration language on both sites...

mpm_event like all Apache mpm_s is much better at handling "issues" where nginx just goes F* and returns nothing. When we have issues we can detect them on apache mpms - but we often fail to see nginx errors as it sort of just dies!

I think running Ignix as front-end server and mod_perl for backend server is the more popular choice.
