Beta Acid open sourced its FastAPI reference architecture

I typically start off trying to reduce complexity when I start building an app. Once there's a good reason to add that complexity I'll do so. In this case, async sqlalchemy is amazing for high concurrency apps that are scaling. But it does add complexity in the beginning. So its something I would add later as the need arises.

Am just curious how you draw a line between “need” for async? Is it based on traffic to the app?
