I’ve recently started hearing more and more about asynchronous servers, lightweight threads, and greenlets and such. I also came across the Green Unicorn project that, though not very speedy with its default worker class, has recently integrated gevent to make it a very attractive offering.

This post describes how I got a Django project up and running on WebFaction (affiliate link) using Gunicorn and gevent. It was quite fun!
