"I can carry out my web developments in a more organized, simple, and fast way,"

4/5

What do you like best about Tornado?

Its interface is quite simple, user-friendly, and easy to use, which allows me to carry out my developments in a very simple, easy, and fast way. The fact that it is oriented to be a web version seems to me a very practical option, as it saves me from having to download additional programs to code in Python and carry out my web developments in a more organized, simple, and fast way.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

There are not many options for documentation or requesting technical support in case of a failure, so it is mandatory to wait for the customer service team to channel all the requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tornado solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been a great help for me to achieve my software and web application developments in a simpler and more practical way compared to the use of other frameworks where the interface complicates the development of my applications, however with Tornado I do not have this type of inconvenience.

"Great web-based framework"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Tornado?

The performance and scalability are excellent. Tornado is an excellent non-blocking web server that I can use for my libraries and deliverables in Python. It is fast and impressive for developing Python-based web applications. Acquired by Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

Little documentation There is nothing I don't like about Tornado 2 And the Python tornado really has a very high entry barrier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tornado:

This is an amazing framework for developing web-based applications in Python. For speed, both Django and Flask work, but Flask is more flexible as it leaves many functions to third-party libraries. Python Tornado is an open-source library, so it is safe to experiment and compare with legacy web servers. Make sure you really need to use Async I/O, as development can be slower than the normal web server that runs without an event loop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tornado solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is IOLoop and IOStream, which serve as building blocks for HTTP components and are very useful in our work. It automatically detects code changes in development. This has affected my work, allowing me to create cool applications with it. IOLoop and IOStream, which serve as the building blocks for HTTP components and are very useful in our work.

issues with type annotations that caused errors while importing Tornado on Python 3.5.2

And the python tornado really has a very high entry barrier.

The template and database sections have many third-party modules to choose from, which is not conducive to encapsulation as a functional module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy webapps with Python"

4.5/5

The amount of support through the community also makes it a very attractive choice compared to other python web frameworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

It's not always easy to get from a minimum viable product to a production ready app. It starts showing limits beyond just the most basic of tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great async webserver option for python"

4/5

What do you like best about Tornado?

Tornado is a great scalable non blocking web server that I can use for my python libraries and deliverables. I think it is fantastic that we're able to have a scalable system in place integrated directly in python and isn't traditional like WSGI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

Tornado is open source so we have to have our developers learn each step and there isn't much support available from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tornado solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tornado addresses the problem of having a scalable technological solution -- in this case, setting up a server that doesn't have the blocking IO issues of WSGI. You can setup and literally forget and things just work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
