Django: Async Queries vs Sync

What are the main differences between async and sync queries in Django?

Async queries in Django allow for non-blocking operations, improving performance under high load, while sync queries block the execution until the operation completes.

When should I use async queries over sync queries?

Use async queries when your application needs to handle many simultaneous requests or when performing I/O-bound operations, like database calls.

Are there any downsides to using async queries?

Yes, async queries can add complexity to your code and may not be necessary for simpler applications with low traffic.

Can I mix async and sync queries in the same Django project?

Yes, you can mix them, but be cautious about how they interact, as it can lead to performance issues if not managed properly.
