A comment on Ace - Sinatra for Node with Fibers.

Quoted from the documentation: "Every request is wrapped in a Node Fiber".

So...essentially, this behaves like a traditional web server? A process listens for incoming connections, then spins up a new process/thread/fiber to handle the request?

No - a Fiber is completely different to a process/thread. The server is still evented. https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers

each "fiber" still consumes a relatively large stack, so in effect you're right
