I built a Python ORM with a Rust engine — here's how the GIL, PyO3, and asyncio actually cooperate
📰 Dev.to · Seva D
Learn how to build a high-performance Python ORM with a Rust engine, leveraging PyO3 and asyncio to overcome the GIL limitation
Action Steps
- Build a Python ORM using Tortoise ORM as a reference
- Use PyO3 to create a Rust engine for the ORM
- Configure asyncio to handle asynchronous database queries
- Apply the GIL limitation workaround using Rust and PyO3
- Test the performance of the ORM with the Rust engine
