Question - async/await stream to many users using just 1 thread

[vegarringdal]

Im very new to rust, so my question/sample code might be weird.

Im trying to build a small rest api with actix, where I stream large result sets back to client
But atm when I loop resultset with next it will pretty much block the thread for any new request ( I will only have 1 thread)

Since I use .fetch_array_size(100).prefetch_rows(100) it would be useful if each request only worked with 100 rows then let other requests do little work etc. In this way I could stream back result to many clients, just a little slower..

Tried to wrap rows.next() in async, but its still blocking. (at least I tried...:joy:)

Is what Im trying to do possible ?

[vegarringdal]

think I might have found a workaround, by adding a delay
updated the code

@vegarringdal Look into Tokio's spawn_blocking
