    They're being used side by side and running in separate processes. For Campus Bubble, tornado app is a relatively simple push broker. Whenever something happens, Flask app pushes notification to a broker and broker pushes them in fan-out fashion to subscribers. I even wrote another blog post a while ago about possible approach: http://mrjoes.github.io/2013/06/21/python-realtime.html

    There's also sockjs ( http://sockjs.org ) which has some rather impressive benchmark results when using the python/tornado server with PyPy ( http://mrjoes.github.io/2011/12/15/sockjs-bench.html ). 155,000-195,000 messages per second on a single core.
