Meinheld is a high-performance asynchronous WSGI web server for Python, built on the picoev event loop and greenlet. It can run standalone or as a gunicorn worker, and supports PEP 333/3333 compliant WSGI applications.

Use cases

• serve a python wsgi app with high performance
• run flask or django behind a fast wsgi server
• use meinheld as a gunicorn worker class
• host a websocket chat app in python
• replace gunicorn's sync workers with an async event-loop server

When to choose

• you need a fast, lightweight WSGI server on Linux, FreeBSD, or macOS
• you want to boost gunicorn throughput with the meinheld worker
• your stack is Python 2.6+/3.5+ WSGI-based

When to avoid

• you need ASGI support for async frameworks like FastAPI or Starlette
• you rely on the deprecated websocket or continuation features
• you need Windows support or actively maintained software
• you want long-term support, as the last release was in 2021
