+### Multi-threading
+
+_Paraphrasing from [this StackOverflow answer][so-answer] by Konstantin_
+
+Sinatra doesn't impose any concurrency model, but leaves that to the
+underlying Rack handler (server) like Thin, Puma or WEBrick. Sinatra
+itself is thread-safe, so there won't be any problem if the Rack handler
+uses a threaded model of concurrency. This would mean that when starting
+the server, you'd have to specify the correct invocation method for the
+specific Rack handler. The following example is a demonstration of how
+to start a multi-threaded Thin server:
+
+``` ruby
+# app.rb
+
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class App < Sinatra::Base
+  get '/' do
+    "Hello, World"
+  end
+end
+
+App.run!
+
+```
+
+To start the server, the command would be:
+
+``` shell
+thin --threaded start
+```
