About
Motor presents a coroutine-based API for non-blocking access to MongoDB. The source is on GitHub and the docs are on ReadTheDocs.
“We use Motor in high throughput environments, processing tens of thousands of requests per second. It allows us to take full advantage of modern hardware, ensuring we utilise the entire capacity of our purchased CPUs. This helps us be more efficient with computing power, compute spend and minimises the environmental impact of our infrastructure as a result.”
—David Mytton, Server Density
“We develop easy-to-use sensors and sensor systems with open source software to ensure every innovator, from school child to laboratory researcher, has the same opportunity to create. We integrate Motor into our software to guarantee massively scalable sensor systems for everyone.”
—Ryan Smith, inXus Interactive
