Tornado Web Server is an open source web server developed by the Facebook engineering team. It is a high-performance, non-blocking web server and web framework written in Python. It is designed for modern web applications that require both high performance and scalability. It is capable of handling thousands of concurrent connections, making it a great choice for applications that require real-time communication, such as chat applications and streaming services. It also has a powerful template engine and support for a variety of web application frameworks, such as Django, Flask, aiohttp and webapp2. Tornado also supports WebSocket connections, allowing developers to create real-time web applications. It also provides secure authentication and access control mechanisms. In addition, it provides a range of features to make it easier to build, deploy, and manage web applications.
Tornado is an asynchronous library, while Apache HTTP Server AFAIK does not offer such a feature.

Tornado Web Server is a framework, this is a program.
