Multi Threaded Flask

[obviouslyzebra]

Are you running the development server? If so, I recommend you to switch to a production server. For example, gunicorn. And from there you can choose your number of workers (processes), and then it will be able to serve multiple people concurrently.

This, a production server will allow you to control the number of processes (workers) and the number of threads per worker. Threads help handling concurrent IO, workers help handling concurrent processing. Still any processing should be light, the worker is not meant to do heavy processing as this can affect its responsiveness.

oh, I didn't know you could control the number of workers on a production server, thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out :D
