Hi.
I've been working on a python web app using cherrypy and read it'd be more "robust" to use it as a backend, so I gave it a try.
Shortly put, running some benchmarks on a page doing some database operations and serving static & dynamic content has shown that plain cherrypy was twice as fast than nginx and memcached, and about half faster than lighttpd. I heard the latter had memory leak issues, so refrained from using it. And yes, both nginx and lighttpd were configured to serve the static content.
I didn't want to try out apache since I'll be deploying it on a relatively "small" VPS.
So, considering that :
- I wont' be deploying it on a distributed system for a while, is it safe to use cherrypy on its own ?
- And when I will deploy it on a such system, which frontend performs the best ?
