Scaling Python to 1K QPS by server (not doing Hello Worlds)

Guillaume Gelin, Lead Software engineer at Numberly explains how to scale up a sample web application on an Amazon server

Guillaume Gelin, Lead Software Engineer at Numberly, presented at the PyCon France 2018 an example of a web application inspired by a real use case (an application capable of more than just "hello worlds"), and showed several ways to make it evolve, layer after layer, with benchmarks at each step, up to 1000 requests per second - or 86.4 million per day - on a single Amazon server.
