Curious about the story behind Netius development. What were the reasons behind writing a new HTTP2 server in Python rather than using an existing system?

We really wanted to create a pure non blocking async IO network library in pure Python without any dependencies. On top of that we also wanted to prove that it's possible to archive 200K HTTP req/s in Python using PyPy with JIT.

That's an impressive benchmark. On what hardware is it achieved?

While I'm not sure what hardware was used, if you want to try it yourself the benchmark is pretty easily reproducible [1].
