Hey Guys. I would like to ask a couple of questions about Ecto and Async tasks.
1 - Are there plans to improve the way we use Ecto + Async Tests + Async Code? Using SQL.Sandbox is in IMHO really confusing.
2 - Are there best practices to use async tests + async code ?
3 - Let’s imagine I have a GenServer Process that inserts 1000 lines each hour using Repo.insert instead of using Repo.insert_all. Would that be a problem to kill my process and my entire application? Does Ecto try to get a new connection from database pool for each insert using Repo.insert?
4 - Let’s imagine I have a async task in my code that does not matter that result to the user, but I want to test it. Should I send a message to the parent process to use assert_receive?
Thank you in advance.
