Really excited about these efforts. Python is my main programming language, but for high volume endpoints it's sometimes necessary to switch to other languages. In an ideal world I'd just use Python for everything. It will take a while before that's possible though. These performance gains don't mean much if your DB connection is still blocking.

How does your benchmark compare against GO, Elixir and Node?
