Asynchronous programming in Django
Django 4 introduced the concept of asynchronous programming in its core framework. While support for async views is introduced in Django, the official documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/async/#performance) states that async views would lead to a performance hit.
Hence, the adaption of native asynchronous programming is not yet mature as of Django 4.x. While most common and basic features will not need any async support, Django as a framework is thus lagging behind other frameworks such as Express and Spring. To work around this problem, Django developers use third-party frameworks to implement asynchronous support. Generally, asynchronous programming is helpful when one has a long-running task that can be executed in the background. For example, when we have to send an email, our Django view would make an external API call to an email service and await the response. This whole process can take a while and there is no...
