Thanks! This is something I had no idea could be an issue. I just started standing up all the dummy functions for the different layers so I’ll take a step back now and review the resources you pointed me at. Also, in the Poem docs I don’t see them using async functions either. I’m very glad I asked.

Thanks! One of the reasons for choosing Rust was actually concurrency. So I’m building a bunch of endpoints that connect with some microservices and I expect to have many simultaneous requests. I’m honestly not like super senior but for the Python backends we’ve been building we always made everything asynchronous so I kinda got the impression that that would be necessary for my use cases. Should I also be careful with async functions when using Poem?

Thanks! This seems exactly what I’m looking for

I would love to! But with the time I have at hand I won’t be starting a project in the next 2 years if I try to finish the book first. I started coding with Java, then did a lot of Python & TypeScript and now I’m here. I’m mostly building CRUD apps nothing fancy, any idea which chapters of the book I could prioritize to make sure I’m not missing anything that would lead me to making really bad, hard to refactor decisions?
