@kgriffs is a personal blog at blog.kgriffs.com about programming and web. Since 2012, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 8 times, most often “UWSGI vs. Gunicorn, How to Make Python Go Faster than Node”. The last post was in 2017, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts on Python, PyPy and Node.js web performance, including benchmarks, and on deploying Django apps. Commenters cite its uWSGI vs Gunicorn vs Node follow-up as a benchmark source.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 4 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
This is my blog about building software for humans, not the other way around. We need software that is better-designed, more secure, faster, and far more reliable.

What Hacker News says?
I think that is not a really fair comparison, Python with PyPy is pretty fast. Actually I would like to see a comparison for Python on PyPy vs JS in IonMonkey/V8. There was just a higher incentive to optimize Javascript as it was pretty slow to begin with and was exposed to a lot more users (in the sense that it runs on clients rather than servers) than Python, Ruby and Perl Edit: First hit on Google shows that jite…

HN discussionI was responsible for a 10^6 views/day (due to most traffic being daytime, comes out to 10-20 req/sec) website running on Django. I went through hell arriving at this solution because the system was in disarray when I took over and deployed on an expensive cloud solution (so resources were limited). Finally I just put my foot down and demanded we buy servers instead, we would have more bare metal by a factor of 4 th…

HN discussionIt depends on the web framework. As the author of the benchmark shows in a later blog post [1], Python+uWSGI can be faster than Node.js [1] http://blog.kgriffs.com/2012/12/18/uwsgi-vs-gunicorn-vs-node... (link originally posted by jdub in this discussion)
