There seem to be two approaches when a problem occurs:

- Find someone to blame (sue them)

- Fix it (myself or pay someone to fix it)

I like to use tools that give me the second option (and planet probably does, but I disliked the "maybe even sue them" - better to have the freedom to fix than the freedom to sue).

Planet Framework is designed from the ground up to be real-time and scalable, but it also uses a lot of existing open-source projects.

For Planet Framework customers, we offer "partner source". Meaning, that customers will get full access to source code and also submit their own patches.

Are you also going to open-source some parts of the project?

A couple of the components used are actually already open-source:

https://github.com/esnme/ultrajson - Super-fast JSON serializer.

https://github.com/esnme/locust - Scalable load testing tool capable of simulating millions of users.

https://github.com/esnme/amysql - 100% async/event driven MySQL driver.

https://github.com/hjlarsson/gevent-memcache - memcached driver for gevent.

Thanks for this list.

We've been building our own load testing tools on python, and it will be quite helpful to learn from the implementation of locust.
