Use an asynchronous MongoDB client

• Blocking
  

  Hedwig/messaging.py

  Lines 18 to 21 in 0956cab

  	ChatMessage.objects.only("user", "time", "text")
  	.raw({"room": BsonObjectID(chat_room_id)})
  	.order_by([("time", ASCENDING)])
  	.values()

  chat_room = ChatRoom(**dict(chat_input)).save()

  	cls.objects.only("title", "admin", "participants", "active")

• Hack; not natively asynchronous
  

  Hedwig/messaging.py

  Lines 86 to 91 in 0956cab

  	save_chat_msg = sync_to_async(
  	ChatMessage(
  	user=user_id, room=chat_room_id, text=message.text, time=message.time
  	).save,
  	thread_sensitive=True,
  	)

motor is asynchronous; pymongo is not

• pymodm is based on pymongo therefore it's synchronous in nature

👉 Find an ODM library like pymodm which is based on motor and replace pymodm with that

Some ideas:

• Beanie
• ODMantic
• μMongo
