Advanced Flask Patterns

Thread locals are addressed in the docs:

    Yes it is usually not such a bright idea to use thread locals. They cause
    troubles for servers that are not based on the concept of threads and make
    large applications harder to maintain. However Flask is just not designed
    for large applications or asynchronous servers. Flask wants to make it quick
    and easy to write a traditional web application.

I haven't used Flask for a large application, but I'm curious why it would be bad for a large application - are there not enough features built in?

What would Python developers prefer to use for a large application - Django?

Or perhaps Pyramid http://www.pylonsproject.org/

I feel sad to read remarks like this one :)

If you have a large application, should you use what, Spring? If you use Spring, you'll have a large application.

It should be noted that thread locals play well with greenlets, so it works well with gevent-style asynchronous servers.

We have builtin support for greenlet concurrency even without monkey patching I should add :-)

I want to thank the flask team for this. we are using flask + gevent in production and it has been highly performant (1200 requests a second for our app) and stable :-)

Are you running that on a single server? Care to share the specs?
