(2012-12-30) Griffiths Python Vs Nodejs

KurtGriffiths looks at a couple Python stacks vs NodeJs (for serving Web API-s). When it comes to deploying web APIs, my preference is to use something lean-n-mean for managing local sockets and WSGI workers, leaving macro Load Balancing, SSL termination, rate limiting and general HTTP heavy-lifting to the big guns (e.g., Sting Ray, NginX, H A Proxy, Stud)... Considering that UWsgi and GUnicorn are both Pre-Forking WSGI servers, and given other design similarities, I couldn't help but wonder how each would perform in the ring... with an optimized web framework and uWSGI on your side, it looks like Python apps can hold their own against Node.
