Tornado Web Server
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking infrastructure.July 03 2009

LightCloud - Distributed and persistent key value database
* Built on Tokyo Tyrant. One of the fastest key-value databases [benchmark]. Tokyo Tyrant has been in development for many years and is used in production by Plurk.com, mixi.jp and scribd.com (to name a few)... * Great performance (comparable to memcached!) * Can store millions of keys on very few servers - tested in production * Scale out by just adding nodes * Nodes are replicated via master-master replication. Automatic failover and load balancing is supported from the start * Ability to script and extend using Lua. Included extensions are incr and a fixed list * Hot backups and restore: Take backups and restore servers without shutting them down * LightCloud manager can control nodes, take backups and give you a status on how your nodes are doing * Very small foot print (lightcloud client is around ~500 lines and manager about ~400) * Python only, but LightCloud should be easy to port to other languagesMarch 01 2009
