Scaling Django to 8 Billion Page Views

Also I know the JVM crowd hates to admit it, but also Node.js. I was able to do 15k rps to our node API (which hit Postgres) on the last application I worked on. And that wasn't even on SSD. Node can be very fast on your own hardware. That was on a 2 server Xeon setup.

Surely the absence of a SSD and hardware vs virtual hosting is more likely to affect Postgres than Node? Node presumably runs all in memory and is more likely to be CPU bound (or waiting) than disk IO bound.

From what I've toyed around with, Twisted and Tornado with PyPy have comparable speeds to Node.JS, too.

Indeed; you're right! It's an oversight to have left Node.js off my list above.
