Server: a simple web service that queries a couchdb database.

• WSGI (stdlib)
• WSGI (flask)
• WSGI (tornado)
• WSGI (twisted.web)
• twisted (cpython)
• twisted (pypy, 1 core)
• twisted (pypy-stm, multicore)

• twisted tls with openssl
• nginx tls frontend

• Dummy payload: same payload is stored n times. measures insertions.
• Dummy payload: homogeneous payload, random queries.
• Prime-numbers (range):
  • calculates primes in range (cpu-bound load, with i/o step)
  • queries primes in range
• Server search: a string is given to be searched on the whole database.
