Use Gunicorn instead

[kennethreitz]

Gunicorn would make the whole bootstrap.py thing unnecessary. It also spins a configured number of workers, and has an incredibly excellent gevent worker type (as well as tornado, if you're into that :).

Just a suggestion :)

[zachwill]

Nice, sounds like a good suggestion. Do you suggest 3 Gunicorn workers like the Dev Center article?

[kennethreitz]

It depends on the application. The only real limitation is RAM. For small memory applications, I use 9+ gevent workers. If it's a django app (which takes quite a bit more memory), 3 or 4 is best.

[kennethreitz]

So, 3 is a good default.

Just created a branch and I'm pretty impressed. Did not expect it to be this easy to use.

Will update the documentation and make Gunicorn default — good call, @kennethreitz.

[kennethreitz]

Awesome ;)

@benoitc is the man to thank ;)

Just took a look at the branch. Awesome ;)

If you still want to use gevent (highly recommended) add -k gevent to the command.

[zachwill]

Does gevent still need to be in the requirements.txt? Or is it already installed with gunicorn?

[kennethreitz]

No, it's an optional dependency, so it needs to be requirements.txt.

[zachwill]

Ship it.
