It helped me understand why running a web framework in an event loop is so natural. As I continued to tackle more features in Fastr, it was time to tackle persistence – notably, database access. AsyncRecord is/will be an ORM, similar to ActiveRecord – with one major difference – it doesn’t block. AsyncRecord currently uses em-mysql to access a MySQL database.
