There is no practical difference - uWSGI has own protocol, 
reverse proxy mode uses HTTP for it. But usage remains pretty 
similar - you just run the app and redirect requests to it, 
that's all. With added benefit that it is still a 100% feature 
complete and capable application even without any kind of 
application server or reverse proxy.

You don't necessarily need nginx, vibe.d is quite capable to act 
as only server. It is recommended to put it behind nginx to 
reduce possible security concerns and because nginx has a lot 
more options to configure HTTP behavior.
