We are considering using web2py because it offers strong access control and user session management.
Our first application is not database-heavy and so db issues are not an issue. Performance is important but should be fine with Nginx: a. Why isn't Nginx configuration included in the web2py book? Lighttpd is included but their code hasn't been updated in nearly two years. For our 2nd application, performance is important: b. Is gevent supported in web2py with monkey-patching? If so, is there a reference to it? c. Is it possible to turn off the things that make web2py slower eg. session management, db etc. to provide a 'raw' web2py (+ gevent + nginx) whose only purpose is to take http requests and return data ie. no session management, access control or db access? --
