Thank you very much! > [@KenWhitesell](#): > > Yes. The archtypal example is a situation where one request needs to call “n” external APIs. This makes sense, thank you! > [@What does switching to ASGI entail?](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/what-does-switching-to-asgi-entail/26857/2): > > The number of sites that may aggregate data from multiple sources where parallel web requests or database queries would provide a tangible benefit is likely to be a much larger number - but I think that is still relatively small. Thank you for your other Link and explenation, very helpful. Also there you mention that it has an advantage only for applications having I/O operations at the same time. I also can’t think about another case where it would improve performance? Is there another, which is not incredible niche?
