Python Django Logging Issue

Question

I have set up a Python Django projects. I have made a number of web services. But sometimes the data being logged is somewhat large and it takes like 3-4 seconds to log due to which response of service is delayed for few seconds which is a big factor in terms of performance.

Question: I was just wondering how can I make logging kind of asynchronous? Does Django provide like an option for this? OR do I have to take some other approach and handle it myself like open another thread and do logging in it?

Answer 1

You can use QueueHandler amd QueueListener which are available for Python 2.x through the logutils package. This post has more details, as do the relevant Python 3.x docs .
