Middleware is a layer that facilitates interaction between different components or applications. In the context of Python and web development, the following types of middleware are commonly encountered:

  • WSGI Middleware — used in Python web applications to handle HTTP requests and responses (e.g., middleware in Django or Flask).
  • Authentication and Authorization Middleware — verifies user access rights.
  • Logging Middleware — records information about requests and errors.
  • Session Management Middleware — manages user sessions.
  • Error Handling Middleware — intercepts exceptions and generates correct responses.
  • Caching Middleware — speeds up request processing by storing results.

In other contexts, middleware may include message brokers (RabbitMQ, Kafka), API gateways, proxy servers, etc.
