How do you load balance a Flask application since it's single threaded? For optimal performance shouldn't there be a single Flask instance (process?) for each request being processed? What kind of load balancers are usually used w

You can buy electricity with pricing like that in Finland, it's generally cheaper if you're using significant amounts of electricity. (Although I'm not completely sure if it's minute by minute or hourly rates).
