Performance

Tornado is noted for its high performance. Its design enables handling a large number of concurrent connections (i.e., tries to solve the "C10k problem").

Modules
  • An asynchronous MongoDB driver called Motor.
  • CouchDB drivers called corduroy and trombi.
  • Asynchronous driver for PostgreSQL wrapping psycopg called Momoko
