I'm not saying it can't be done. In fact the multipart parser we have build for transloadit has already been ported to C++ [1] and I imagine Java has decent libraries as well.

But most people just sit on a request/response oriented Python/Ruby/PHP stack with possibly stupid buffering load balancing in between (nginx buffers uploads).

If you build this from ground up, it is certainly possible with a lot of technologies.
