Django Async vs Sync: Which to Choose?

What are the main differences between Django async and sync?

Django async allows for handling multiple requests simultaneously, improving performance for I/O-bound tasks, while sync processes requests one at a time.

When should I use async over sync in Django?

Use async when your application needs to handle many concurrent connections, like in chat applications or APIs with high traffic.

Are there any downsides to using async in Django?

Yes, async can introduce complexity in your code and may not be necessary for CPU-bound tasks where sync would suffice.

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

Yes, you can mix async and sync views, but be cautious about how they interact, especially with database queries.
