    Waitress - A WSGI server for Python 3

  • If you’re delegating your load balancing to something else further up the stack and would prefer a simpler WSGI server than Gunicorn, Waitress is worth a look: https://github.com/pylons/waitress

    Java wins as expected, but a typical setup with Spring versus the typical top PHP frameworks isn't blowing the doors off. Typical Python + Django is far behind, as someone pointed out.

    However what we can see in the diagrams is that ORM layers, regardless of language, are more expensive than what most people realize, even for a compiled language like Java.
