Async Python is not faster

Read Original

This article presents a detailed benchmark comparing synchronous and asynchronous Python web frameworks. It finds that under realistic workloads simulating a web app with a database, async frameworks generally offer slightly lower throughput and significantly worse latency variance (P99) compared to sync frameworks. The author explains the methodology, including worker optimization, and advises that async Python is not a performance silver bullet.
