    We are excited to announce the release of *amongoc* - *an asynchronous C driver for MongoDB, now in public preview*. This experimental driver aims to provide an efficient, non-blocking interface for MongoDB operations. *Share your feedback* on GitHub to help shape its development into a production-ready tool. Your input is crucial, and we can't wait to see what you'll build with amongoc! *Resources* * *Announcement & Getting Started* ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/async-c-driver/ ) * *GitHub Repository* ( https://github.com/mongodb-labs/mongo-c-driver-async/ ) * *Documentation* ( https://mongodb-labs.github.io/mongo-c-driver-async/ )

    This is great. Is there a way to understand how this is implemented ? Mainly Is this fearure is crash consistent.? If multiple threads parallel inserting document to a collection, can this be consolidated automatically and do a bulk update by the mongo-router to the corresponding shards ?

    Just to mirror my comments from the original forum post. For us, this is less about pure performance, and more about fitting MongoDB into our event driven framework. With FreeRADIUS each operating system thread processes thousands of requests in "parallel", with each request having its own call stack, and yielding back to the interpreter for any I/O. For FreeRADIUS v4 (the upcoming release), modules with blocking I/O are either being removed from the codebase (Firebird, DB2, FreeTDS), or moved out from the main worker threads to run in their own thread pools. These separate thread pools add a large performance penalty and increases code complexity.
