Those interested in Flask may be interested in Quart (Flask compatible, but faster because of Asyncio)

Asyncio does NOT make applications faster, especially if you are CPU bound.

But, most web applications are IO bound... dashboards, CRUD apps, simple wrapped up API calls etc.

For a truly CPU bound application, you ought to be looking at something other than Python IMHO.
