I live and breathe this stuff

SQLAlchemy AsyncSession calls greenlet_spawn which wraps a Session sync method. For async dialect+driver, the sqlalchemy dbapi driver will make async connections.

Hey lets make an async call. You mean rewrite the exact code except with dispersed await sprinkled about? Fuck that! Once is enough. Instead wrap the sync call in a greenlet_spawn. And then return to the gulag of static type checking hell forever.

So is it async all the way thru? No. It's async enough™

It is using the async driver. I am using FastAPI’s thin wrapper around SQLAlchemy which also does some slight tuning for it to work better with FastAPI in an async mode.
