Description

Right now the server runs in a single threaded async env. We need to change it to take advantage of the full VPS it is running on. by changing the main server from calling tornado's listen(443) in __main__.py to a tornado bind(443) and start(0).

The main issue with this is we have to make sure that we won't introduce any major race conditions.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Tornado's multi process mode using tornado.bind() and tornado.start(), and identify potential race conditions in shared resources like database connections or in memory state.
