    Factory Boy doesn't currently support asynchronous operations, but there is an async-factory-boy extension with enough async support for most use cases. There is also an open pull request in Factory Boy with recent updates (July 2023) that will hopefully be merged soon.

    When releasing a new application (or feature) I've always loaded each table in my development environments database with a few million rows. Tools like Python's Factory Boy [1] or Ruby's Factory Bot [2] make this trivial.

    After the data is loaded up, start navigating through the application and it will become evident where improvements need to be made. Tools like Django Debug Toolbar [3] help expose where the bad ORM calls are or also by tailing Postgres log files.
