How can I serve a wsgi app on demand?

I have a small server on which I host the wsgi applications I write. This server does not have a lot of ram, and the applications are not frequently used and rarely more than one at once.

Is there a way to configure the server so that the applications are only started when they are needed (when I try to connect on the socket they're served on), somewhat like inetd does ?

depends on the server software you use.

if you use nginx + uwsgi for example, you can configure the uwsgi workers to only be created on requests and get destroyed after a certain amount of inactivity.

look for "idle" "cheap" "cheaper"
