What are the limitations of using Django ORM with async?

Django ORM has several limitations when used with async, such as blocking calls and lack of native async support.

Can you explain what blocking calls mean in this context?

Blocking calls are operations that prevent other tasks from executing until they complete, which can hinder async performance.

Are there any workarounds to use Django ORM asynchronously?

Yes, you can use libraries like asgiref or database to manage async database operations more effectively.

Is it better to use raw SQL for async operations instead?

Using raw SQL can be more efficient for async operations, but it sacrifices some of the ORM's benefits like abstraction and safety.
