What is Tornado?
By using non-blocking network I/O, Tornado can scale to tens of thousands of open connections, making it ideal for long polling, WebSockets, and other applications that require a long-lived connection to each user.
Tornado is a tool in the Frameworks (Full Stack) category of a tech stack.
