isdjangoasyncyet-demo

This is a demo for the talk Is Django async yet?.

Requirements

A Docker Compose V2 file is provided to run the Postgresql database.

You can start the database with:

docker compose up

On another shell you can create the virtual environment and install the requirements:

python3 -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

How to run the sync demo

This assumes the environment has been created and is activated.

You can start the async application with the following command:

cd demo
gunicorn demo:wsgi --workers 1 --bind 0.0.0.0:8000

The API will be available at http://localhost:8000.

How to run the async demo

This assumes the environment has been created and is activated.

You can start the async application with the following command:

cd ademo
gunicorn ademo.asgi:application --workers 1 --worker-class uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker --bind 0.0.0.0:8080

The API will be available at http://localhost:8080.

OpenTelemetry instrumentation

If you want to debug asgiref.sync sync_to_async and async_to_sync usage you can run the service using OpenTelemetry automatic instrumentation:

opentelemetry-instrument --traces_exporter console --metrics_exporter none --service_name ademo \
    gunicorn ademo.asgi:application --workers 1 --worker-class uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker --bind 0.0.0.0:8080
