Specifically:

A hard real-time operating system has less jitter than a soft real-time operating system. The chief design goal is not high throughput, but rather a guarantee of a soft or hard performance category. A RTOS that can usually or generally meet a deadline is a soft real-time OS, but if it can meet a deadline deterministically it is a hard real-time OS.

Async, non-blocking, and event-driven have nothing to do with real-time.

This web framework has nothing to do with real-time.

Stop using terminology you don't understand.

That is not what real-time means.

As good as it is to learn to code, much as is the case with any situation where you'd normally hire a professional (doctor, lawyer, accountant) don't kid yourself that you know everything once you can sling some code.

A good example would be how terrible the code the Google Founders wrote. Their initial engineering hires had to rewrite everything from scratch.

And the Google Founders did have a background that would lend well to coding.
