Real-Time-Web-App-Stack-with-Python-Tornado

A collection of examples, tests and documentation for building a real-time web app with python tornado.

Technology Overview

MongoDB

• Document-orientated database
• Uses BSON (Binary JSON), faster especially when storing binary data
• You can use a simple query-syntax or map/reduce for retreiving data
• Dynamic queries, meaning queries can be run without planing for it (CouchDB does not support this)
• Geospatial Indexes
• Updating in-place: very fast lazy writing but less safe
• Easily scalable with master-slave setup or sharding
