You are correct, the entire rendering process is sync. (There are a handful of threads here discussing this - see [Is it feasible to improve streaming HTML in Django? - #2 by andrewgodwin](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/is-it-feasible-to-improve-streaming-html-in-django/21017/2) as one example.)

If you need to call an async-only function within this process, you’ll need to use the `async_to_sync` method.
