I used PyPy extensively at a previous employer. The use case was to accelerate an application that was CPU-bound because of serde, which could not be offloaded using multiprocessing. PyPy resulted in a 10x increase in message throughput, and made the project viable in python. Without PyPy, we would have rebuilt the application in Java.
