I'm not sure if its official. Would love some more guidance/clarity/docs/funding from the django foundation on what it looks like to migrate legacy code to the new ways.

The rednaks repo works great for just giving the new async stuff a go. If everything else is also using async.

I did some experimentation with this. And its a pain trying to migrate a production application that uses gevent and psycogreen2.

The documentation on the code migration path is pretty sparse.

The main hiccup that I ran into was psycogreen2 not being supported.

Everything works great if everything is already using the regular threading and asyncio/async methods, or JUST gevent/psycogreen.

The django documentation suggests mounting WSGI into ASGI.

But, it breaks down immediately going between the two paradigms.

I put a little experiment together a bit ago to see what would work in production, and my results.
