[dancer-users] blocking

[David H]

Thanks for the response, I think my original email basically outlined my
issue, but I will break it down.

If 10 people visit my page at the moment, and the page has to retrieve
database/memcached info for the 10 people, and it takes 1 second to do all
the pre-work to load the page, then each of those requests for each person,
is done separately, taking a total of 10 seconds for the last person to
retrieve their data, since it has to wait for each other process to finish
before attending to the next person.

At a basic level in nodejs, you do this (as an example):

router.get('/', function (req, res, next) {
   Post.find(function(err, Patients) {
    if (err) { return next(err) }
    res.json(People)
   },'Firstname Surname')
})

And although this is per session blocker in node, it still allows other
sessions to continue.
I want to know how to achieve this or a similar effect in Dancer2. Or, do I
just look at it as an issue with Perl and solve it through something like
AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
