What are some examples of using async ORM with Flask?

Can you provide some examples of using async ORM with Flask?

Sure! Async ORM allows you to perform database operations without blocking the main thread. For example, using SQLAlchemy with Flask, you can define your models and use async functions to query the database.

How do I set up SQLAlchemy for async operations in Flask?

First, you need to install the necessary packages like asyncpg and SQLAlchemy. Then, configure your Flask app to use an async database session.

Can you show me a code snippet for an async query?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

async def get_user(user_id):
    async with async_session() as session:
        result = await session.execute(select(User).where(User.id == user_id))
        return result.scalars().first()

What are the benefits of using async ORM?

The main benefits include improved performance, better resource utilization, and the ability to handle more concurrent requests.
