Yeah I admittedly haven't used it much, our stuff was setup before they had async support at all, and our website doesn't benefit from it really. Async database queries would in theory be more efficient if you have many long running queries, but all of ours are reasonably fast and we have plenty of dedicated headroom so there's no incentive for us to consider changing anything. > I reverted everything to sync and re-implemented the hot functions with multi-threading... I'm curious what your workload is? If you need the requests themselves async then you normally have gunicorn/uwsgi handle that for you. Otherwise you'd send it to a work queue. Do you have a lot of long-running queries or realtime stuff? Hopefully django's async support improves. I love the ORM so much I use it for non-server based projects.
