I wonder what are the benefits of setting G-WAN versus 2-3 nginx with 10-15 gunicorns behind it?

In the latter case you have proven software that is easy to set-up and scale. If need more, then :

- add more nginx/more gunicorns - add haproxy - add DNS balancing

So, what's the point?

Adding more servers costs money. Doing more with less saves money.

Well, in my specific case, I am OK with money - 10 VPS ~ $200-600 per month. You spend more on a couple of trips to supermarket.

I don't have time and 15 years of programming under my belt.
