Django has async support for everything except the ORM. async db is possible without the ORM or by doing some thread pool/sync to async wrapping. A PR for that was under review last I checked. Either way, high concurrency websites shouldn't have queries that take multiple seconds and it's still possible to block async processes in most languages if you mix in a blocking sync operation.
