Hi Jachym,

The Service object (https://github.com/jachym/pywps-4/blob/describe-inputs/demo.py#L68) is a WSGI application, and it can be deployed in a number of ways. Werkzeug documentation has a nice section about deployment:

http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/deployment/

Flask also has good deployment docs, and they are more up-to-date, especially regarding standalone WSGI containers (that can be exposed directly, or set up behind a reverse proxy). These docs talk about a "flask app", but it's just a WSGI app, so they apply to pywps as well.

http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/

Which deployment method do you prefer?
