- lrem 10y agoBut it supports that they do use Flask. > Presently, the API does over 12 billion requests per day, all in Flask. Wow, that is 138kqps. Not something that would strike me as your typical Python workload.

- ubernostrum 10y agoThere are lots of those lying around. I don't know if it still is, but when I was at Mozilla the service that every instance of Firefox around the world hits to do the version/extension-compatibility checks was backed by Django, and was at something like 15k req/s served. Firefox has gained some market share in the four-ish years since I got that number, so probably larger now.
