Hi there,

within crate/crate-python#391, I am trying to add support for SQLAlchemy 1.4. By working on it and more specifically through [1,2], I learned that

SQLAlchemy version 1.4 and later supports the asyncpg dialect natively.

So, this might be an interesting option to consider.

With kind regards,
Andreas.
