Can we get a source on that? I've successfully used guniron for APIs getting hundreds of thousands to millions of requests a second.

I've also found it's best to question anytime someone suggests a technology "doesn't scale."

I don’t like GP’s phrasing, but the post describes a real phenomenon. Beyond the most trivial examples, concurrency and parallelism in Python are a massive pain, as many examples here attest.

Unless you have a very compelling reason to stick with Python (e.g., dependence on its excellent data science libraries), there are almost always better choices if your project has to coordinate many things happening at once.
