Dude. A blog post on writing application on top of asyncio which may interchangeably use threads or async/await, and incrementally making the switch to asyncio would be awesome.

I work with a large-fintech platform which is partially powered by Python. Our old server was based around threads, queues, and socket multiplexing but we are gradually starting new applications in asyncio.

I recently completed a project in aiohttp which has been fantastic. What are your thoughts on aiohttp vs tornado?

I have not used tornado but I love aiohttp. it's super fast (part in cython) and does HTTP + websocket client and server. Their team is are part of the asyncio contributors, they know their stuff.
