Axon is a 507-line, pure Python WSGI framework that achieves up to 237MB/s file streaming on $8/month hardware. The key feature is the dynamic bundling of multiple files into a single multipart stream while maintaining bounded memory (<225MB). The implementation saturates CPU before reaching I/O limits.
Technical highlights:
- Pure Python stdlib implementation (no external dependencies)
- HTTP range support for partial content delivery
- Generator-based streaming with constant memory usage
- Request batching via query parameters
- Match statement-based routing (eliminates traversal and probing)
- Built-in sanitization and structured logging
The benchmarking methodology uses fresh Digital Ocean droplets with reproducible wrk tests across different file sizes. All code and deployment scripts are included.
