Do you think it make more sense to do async backend when we are moving to real-time ( meaning websocket-based connections ) web apps?

- zzzeek 9y agoI've maintained that async is better suited towards web services and lightweight databases like redis, and is not useful for relational databases. However, it's very hard to get async to make your code actually "faster", as opposed to just handling very high throughout with less resources. If people stop saying "faster!", I'll go away.
