Description

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed. It is designed to handle large amounts of traffic and to provide highly responsive web applications. It is a great choice for web applications that need to serve a large number of requests in a short time frame. Tornado is highly scalable and can handle a large number of simultaneous connections while maintaining low latency. It is also an ideal framework for developing microservices, as it provides an easy way to break down applications into smaller components that can be managed and deployed separately. Tornado is equipped with features such as a powerful web server, a non-blocking web server, asynchronous request handlers, and support for WebSocket and long-polling. It also supports template engines, secure cookies, and user authentication.
