Request README update with performance characteristics and internal operation #2

Closed nous- closed 4 years ago

Hello,

I am seeking the the type-safety of Diesel with the performance of actix-pg.

Are the internals of this library ushering calls out to synchronous actors to do standard diesel blocking calls? What are its performance characteristics? It would be helpful to have these details added to the README.

Thank you for your contribution to the community.

In short, Diesel is synchronous. There is nothing we can do from outside Diesel to affect that. This is using SyncActor from Actix to spawn database worker threads and communicating results back through futures.

I'll accept a pull request that annotates this. I don't have the time myself to do much here. This was more an experiment. I've moved away from Actix going forward myself.

@mehcode I'm new to rust and evaluating things. If you've moved away from Actix what are you planning on using going forward? thanks

I currently use https://github.com/http-rs/tide/ with https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx
