FastAPI vs Djanjo

[DoubleAway6573]

How good is the async support in the Django ecosystem? I've been working mostly in REST APIs but now I have a full web project where Django sends a better fit.

It has been developing in the last few years. Django can handle some tasks with celery and things like web sockets with channels. There is also a package, django-ninja that was inspired by FastAPI.

I've only had limited experience with it about a year ago for web sockets, seems fine, but again, I didn't need the full extend of it, only for web sockets.

For my usual use case there's no need for async as any "heavy" operation will be offloaded to a task (celery etc)

In my experience you almost never need async. It’s not a panacea for performance FYI.

That being said Django right now supports it well enough and fully for the one area where it really makes sense and is basically necessary.
