greetings, i don't know much about asynchronous i/o in web servers.
GAE provides its own web server. there is no file writing in GAE (unless you use the blobstore), and most google API calls that you make can be made asynchronously with the proper settings. overall i am very satisfied with GAE for hosting. they have blips in the road...but who doesn't? i have successfully written pages that load up slower the molasses on a cold day in janurary.....and also written pages that load up lightning quick. once you get the feel for the datastore, memcache and edge caching you can get things working very well together. cfh On Saturday, March 9, 2013 6:59:56 AM UTC-8, curiouslearn wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a couple of questions: is it possible to do asynchronous i/o using > web2py (would I need to use the Tornado server )?
