Async not used

[naidu-rohit]

The template does not use async at all. Is there any particular reason for that? Do celery, sqlalchemy etc work with async?
How much code will have to be changed for async?

I was trying to find out that info. So no asyncpg?

I couldn't find a way to use sqlalchemy with async-await for my previous project so I decided to use the Databases package

For database async application, tortoise-orm is fine too.

sqlalchemy 1.4 enables async use of the ORM

I had similar/related doubts (why the examples were using blocking operations) and I was missing some background information that I found reading this comment and the technical details in the fastapi documentation
