Asynchronous operations refer to executing tasks or processing data without waiting for previous operations to complete, enabling better system performance and responsiveness. In Python, this is made possible through the `asyncio` module, which allows you to write single-threaded, concurrent code using coroutines and is a more efficient alternative to multi-threading or using callback-based approaches. [[Django]], while traditionally synchronous, has recently added support for asynchronous [[DRF Views]], middleware, and tests. [[React.js]], on the other hand, inherently supports asynchronous operations via JavaScript's event loop and can efficiently manage UI updates in response to asynchronous data changes. Together, using asynchronous operations in both backend (Django) and frontend (React.js) development allows for building highly responsive and scalable web applications.
