turbo-orm: True Async ORM for Django
An experimental async ORM layer for Django with genuine async database I/O. Uses psycopg3 async cursors and connection pooling while reusing the Django Query object for SQL generation, so the chainable queryset API stays familiar.
The async ORM methods in Django still run queries in a thread. turbo-orm does the I/O asynchronously with psycopg3 async cursors and a psycopg_pool connection pool, while leaning on the Django Query object so SQL generation is identical to the regular ORM.
class User(models.Model):
username = models.CharField(max_length=150)
objects = AsyncManager()
users = await User.objects.filter(is_active=True).order_by("-id")[:10].alist()
user = await User.objects.aget(id=1)Built on top of django-async-backend. The API is still moving, so treat it as experimental.
