Is there any advantage of using django with tornado

Just curious after reading this, it wraps django using tornado. Is there any advantage or disadvantage of using tornado on django?

Solution

  • The biggest advantage is if you have an existing django codebase that you would like to enhance with some async operations. Tornado is a lean framework where DB Models, Django level templating, middleware, etc.etc. are not present.

    That said, if you are starting from scratch on a project mixing Tornado + BackboneJS will yield a much more interesting application.
