So it's sending a content-length of e.g. 6k then only sending 5k bytes so response.json() times out waiting for the rest.

Could be. I do enjoy their discounts on older software, though. I once managed to snag an older version of the 'Camtasia' for some EUR 30..40. The software is a remarkable screen recorder bundled w/ an editor, but its normal price of roughly EUR 200 or more is way beyond what would be acceptable to me, given I use the software very sporadically.

@note to self: in progress animation for post buttons and so on, system is a bit slower than used to for unclear reason what needs to be investigated (devii, create issue). But it's just a good practice. Devii describe in detail in ticket what kind of buttons and so on are applicable for the loading thingy. It would be consistently and generic applied through system when done.

Hmm, tomorrow I don't know. But some people are in the position that they became scared of refactoring. That's not a way to live. I go for the super low run, you see how many times I've refactored and it gets easier and easier to gain but still slow, but in the end, I will win. This is also how life works. Go slow, go hard. But we can all relax, almost every 60-year-old drives a Porsche, which tells us that a lot of effort is not even needed. Relax.

Uwsgi is very interesting. Considered ancient by AI, but for mass communication I would still use that. They're threads, schedules on a lower level than async - async is a high-level variant. I mean, if you do it well, you will get more out of threads, and especially the hybrid variant where I'm working on. Fucking overkill. For reference, this project has a nice production setup, but we're running the dev server because there's seriously no reason to upgrade. But interestingly, I rarely get positive outcomes in multi-worker setups. I know, it's the orchestration overhead. I think for quick answers, async is top-notch, but for mass, other solutions.

While async did prove itself for sure, there's still conceptually something wrong with it. But it does prove the power of just handling quick. What is faster? Handling a thousand concurrent or one by one? It's all about scale. But if you tell yourself that nothing is allowed to be a bottleneck and choose to go hard, one by one will beat concurrency every time.

I stopped with my performance fetish. I also tried to split this product up into 15 microservices. The AI cheated hardcore - that's what they do when tasks are big. But I came to my senses and realized that it would not be more fun to maintain; almost no feature is small anymore.

Man, that framework toxicity is real. I had the same thing with a FastAPI admin panel that was doing weird connection pooling under the hood, and no amount of custom middleware could fully untangle it. Did you check if your framework is doing any implicit keep-alive or chunked encoding on the admin routes specifically?
