Deep-dives on high-throughput backend architecture, Python & Django performance, real-time Voice AI, and resilient database modeling.
Django Async ORM Under High Concurrency: ThreadPoolExecutor Starvation, sync_to_async Traps, and ASGI Worker Sizing
Mixing async Django views with ORM calls or blocking SDKs can silently starve ThreadPoolExecutors and lock the ASGI event loop. Learn how to calibrate async boundaries, size ASGI_THREADS, and avoid 504 timeouts.
Server-Sent Events (SSE) vs. WebSockets for LLM Streaming & Real-Time Dashboards
Developers routinely spin up bidirectional WebSockets for AI chat interfaces and live feeds, incurring stateful proxy overhead when unidirectional Server-Sent Events are lighter, auto-reconnecting, and HTTP/2 multiplexed.
Demystifying Async Django: When to Use `async def` vs. Background Workers
Async Django views promise high concurrency, but misunderstanding thread handoffs and blocking ORM calls can ruin performance. Learn exactly when to employ ASGI async def versus offloading to asynchronous worker pools.
