How to make SQLAlchemy in Tornado to be async?
In the world of internet improvement, asynchronous programming has grown in importance to efficiently manage excessive degrees of concurrency. Tornado is a popular asynchronous web framework for Python, regarded for handling thousands of concurrent transactions easily. SQLAlchemy, alternatively, is an effective Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library that simplifies database interactions in Python applications. Combining the power of Tornado and SQLAlchemy can result in sturdy and high-performance internet applications. In this article, we explore how to make SQLAlchemy work easily in a Tornado application, whilst leveraging the power of asynchronous programming.
