Simon Willison’s Weblog

FAPWS3-0.2 (WSGI server based on libev). Another strong contender for Python’s answer to Mongrel—3500 requests/s for static files, 43 for a simple dynamic (Django powered) pages and 4.8 for a heavy SQL query—all benchmarked with 300 concurrent requests.

I think version is `3-0.2` not `0.2`

Alex: Yup, I copied that typo over from the title. Version number fixed.

Simon, and what is your global opinion about FAPWS and other asynchronous WSGI servers in Django perspective?
