Harnessing Tokio for Async Databases

This chapter explores the integration of the Tokio asynchronous runtime in building efficient database systems, focusing on the separation of tasks into distinct thread pools for optimal performance. It highlights the advantages of Rust's async features, particularly in managing CPU-bound tasks and cooperative coroutines, comparing them to approaches in other languages. The discussion also addresses the complexities of working with async programming in Rust, including the concepts of polling and pinning, and the learning curve that accompanies mastering these frameworks.
