I&#x27;m running Python + Django with uWSGI. Building the app is a pleasure. With type hints in Python 3.5, the code becomes  almost as maintainable as statically typed languages too.<p>One problem I have is that the application is extremely CPU intensive. I can&#x27;t get past 35-40 requests per second with 500 concurrent users (at 4 CPU cores, 14 GB RAM), which seemed too expensive economically. (I cached as much data as possible, both at the Nginx tier and with Redis) and tuned the number of uWSGI worker processes.<p>Do I have to try other languages or do you think I have more room for optimization with Python?
