FastAPI is async, so this app must use Motor, not PyMongo #5

PyMongo is blocking, and is thus incompatible with FastAPI, which is asynchronous. Any long-running queries running in a single endpoint will block every other operation until it is complete.

A (relatively straightforward) switch to Motor should fix this issue.
