Using Gevent in flask: API is not asynchronous

Question

Earlier I was using Waitress. Now I\'m using Gevent to run my Flask app that has only one API

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import documentUtil

We use Gunicorn to run Flask in multiple processes. You get more juice out of python that way + auto restarts and stuff. Sample config file:

import multiprocessing

bind = "0.0.0.0:80"
workers = (multiprocessing.cpu_count() * 2) + 1
# ... additional config

Then run with something like

gunicorn --config /path/to/file application.app
