Is there any evidence of out-of-the-box advantages to justify migrating from WSGI to ASGI? I want to write async code but first I need to convince my colleagues that the switch would bring value out of the box without modifying our code. Does anyone have pointers to relative performance benchmarks based on _unmodified_ code? Are there other advantages to switching to ASGI that are not performance related?

ASGI will not magically increase your performance with an unmodified application - it’s there to enable you to write other patterns (like parallel queries, aggregation, long polling and similar) that are just not possible to do efficiently with WSGI.
