Beloved users, and whomever else may find it of interest,

We recently made the switch from nginx to uwsgi. Well, I say recently, as far as I can tell from the commit logs we started work on it around July 10th, so that's fully six weeks ago. We just deployed it this week, and after a bumpy first few days it seems to be settling in well. We thought we'd share why we switched, and how it's going.

tl;dr:

Fast and slow is really a misnomer. We're really talking about "pure" unit tests, which are highly isolated from each other, and will require the use of mocks (unless the code follows a functional paradigm), or "impure" unit tests, which involve more dependencies.

Taking another look at our Mozilla Persona spike, we need something like this:

var loggedInUser = '{{ user.email }}' || null;
var csrf_token = '{{ csrf_token }}';
console.log(loggedInUser);
