Pyramid vs NodeJS vs Gevent

Summary: NodeJS wins.

Test Program

ab -n 10000 -c 5 http://localhost/

Gevent Code

from gevent import wsgi

class WebServer(object): 
    def application(self, environ, start_response):
        start_response("200 OK", []) 
        return ["Hello world!"]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = WebServer()
    wsgi.WSGIServer(('', 8888), app.application, backlog=1024).serve_forever()

Pyramid Code

from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.response import Response
from paste.httpserver import serve

def hello_world(request):
    return Response('Hello world!')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    config = Configurator()
    config.add_view(hello_world)
    app = config.make_wsgi_app()
    serve(app, host='0.0.0.0')

NodeJS Code

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
}).listen(8124, "127.0.0.1");
