title: Gunicorn gevent workers vs Uvicorn ASGI
body: <p>I'm currently developing a service in Django which makes use of a slow external API (takes about 10s to get a response), which means the connections to my server are kept open waiting for the external API to respond, and occupying worker time/resources.</p>
  <p>I know I can use gunicorn's thread or gevent workers to add concurrency, but can't seem to grasp the exact difference between using gunicorn with gevent workers and uvicorn (or any other server) with the asgi interface.</p>
  <p>What would be the criteria for using one over the other?</p>
  <p>Django still doesn't fully support async/await views. Would it be better if I just stick with gevent workers?</p>
