What are some use cases for async with Django ORM?

Async with Django ORM can be beneficial for handling high-concurrency scenarios, such as real-time applications, where you need to manage multiple database queries without blocking the main thread.

Can you give me an example of a real-time application that would benefit from this?

Sure! A chat application where multiple users send and receive messages simultaneously would benefit from async ORM to ensure smooth performance and quick database interactions.

What about performance? Is it really faster?

Yes, in scenarios with many simultaneous requests, async can improve performance by allowing other tasks to run while waiting for database operations to complete, reducing overall latency.

Are there any downsides to using async with Django ORM?

One downside is the added complexity in your codebase. Debugging async code can be more challenging, and not all libraries are compatible with async operations.
