Well, unicorn/Hypercorn/Daphnie are Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface<br>
(ASGI) servers, so it's possible to run an ASGI application with any of<br>
them.<br>
<br>
It's also true that NGINX Unit is an ASGI server, so it's also possible to run<br>
the same ASGI application on top of NGINX Unit.<br>

<br>
An answer for the question how to run an application in an evnronment<br>
definitely depends on an application and its architecture. The list of<br>
questions here starts from the following:<br>
<br>
- does the application needs caching?<br>
- does the application needs to work with FQDNs or IP addresses?<br>
- does the application needs a session persistance?<br>
- TLS termination on a frontend (NGINX) or backend (NGINX Unit)?<br>
- load balancing<br>
<br>
and so on.<br>

<br>
It's easy to start to work with NGINX Unit, deploy an application and see<br>
how it works. In case you need an additional functionality, it's possible<br>
to extend that with NGINX in front.<br>
<br>
Hope it's clear.<br>
