Django: Handling Async Views with Database Queries in a Non-Blocking Manner
I recently switched to I've spent hours debugging this and I recently switched to I tried several approaches but none seem to work... I just started working with I'm currently working on a Django application (version 3.2) that leverages async views to handle requests more efficiently... However, I'm having trouble integrating asynchronous database queries with Django's ORM. When I try to use `await` with `MyModel.objects.filter(...)`, I get an behavior: `TypeError: 'QuerySet' object is not awaitable`. I understand that Django's ORM is synchronous and doesn't support async out of the box. To work around this, I've tried wrapping my ORM calls in an executor using `asgiref.sync.sync_to_async`, but the performance doesn't seem to improve as expected. Here's a simplified version of what my async view looks like: ```python from asgiref.sync import sync_to_async from django.http import JsonResponse from myapp.models import MyModel @sync_to_async def get_objects(): return list(MyModel.objects.filter(condition=True)) async def my_async_view(request): objects = await get_objects() return JsonResponse({'objects': objects}) ``` The method `get_objects` seems to work, but I've read that using executors can still lead to blocking behavior, especially under heavy load. Is there a better way to handle async database interactions in Django? Should I consider using a different database driver or perhaps switch to an entirely async framework like FastAPI for this functionality? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I've been using Python for about a year now. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? The project is a REST API built with Python. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been using Python for about a year now. Is there a better approach? This issue appeared after updating to Python latest. Any ideas what could be causing this? This is part of a larger REST API I'm building.
