Channels: event loop and thread

[Zhiyu (Drew) Li]

Hi there,

I got the following 2 questions 

There is only one thread (MainThread) and one event loop running on it by default if all existing consumers are asynchronous consumers?

Regular sync views (if any) are handled by Threadpoolexecutor and run in a sub Thread. These sync views won't block the event loop in the main thread. Channels takes care of this subthread and I don't need to explicitly manage it. Right?

Thanks

Drew

Your assumptions are correct. The only extra thing to be aware of is that some Django interactions (like the Channels Auth middleware) need to do database connections and thus have to launch into a subthread for that, but that's also managed.
