Can be tornado server in py4web used for production?

[Christian Varas]

Hi, 

I’m wondering if tornado server can be used for an app in production. Tornados is fast and looks like efficient.

From tornado webpage:

“”” Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal forlong polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user”””

Or Nginx would be the best approach?

Cheers.

Chris.

I think nginx does useful stuff like filter ips, server multiple apps (other than py4web), faster and serving static files, round robin. It is convenient to have py4web + tornado behind nginx in production but not strinctly needed.
