   The pure fastwsgi results there are insane! Are you running a single process? That's double the RPS that I've been getting on my machine.

   Awesome! That performs really well!

   Thanks! Yeah, I stumbled upon it while looking for ways to parse http requests. Turns out its awesome. I believe NodeJS uses it under the hood as well. Could be mistaken...

   Web Server Gateway Interface. Simply put, it is just a convention for forwarding requests to Python web applications. More info here: python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/

   Hey, thanks! Great job on Bjoern by the way! Yeah, I did get some inspiration from Bjoern for this project. Was also a learning project for me. I used this project to pick up C and learn a bit more about HTTP! Hoping to add a few more featu

   Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, some more "real world" benchmarks should be added. And yes, if you have some application that you've tried to optimize somewhat and haven't managed to get the desired performance you would

   Oops. This is a typo... should be WSGI apps. Not the uWSGI server

    Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the benchmarks just highlight higher numbers in very simple tests. They should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. I can try add some more practical highlights.

    Yeah I don't have an optimal benchmarking setup currently. I have a 16-core CPU that I run everything off (server + benchmarks = not ideal). I've been working on adding multiprocessing to FastWSGI (only works on Linux at the momen

    Thanks, nice catch! I will update that.

    In theory, any framework that follows the WSGI guidelines should be able to run on top of FastWSGI and take advantage of its speed. There are many frameworks out there. I do intend to test out some more. For now I've only tested the po

    Thanks! I was quite surprised myself when I saw the numbers for the basic WSGI app. I'm still trying to figure out exactly why my server is so much faster than other servers out there... My guess is that I avoid calling Python as much

    I've been developing a Python extension, written in C, that provides users with an ultra-fast WSGI server that they can run their WSGI applications on (Flask, Django, uWSGI etc). I have also recently managed to get it working on multip
