Consider gevent or asyncio

Now that Django ORM supports asyncio, can we move consumers to it? since most of our stuff is IO blocking and better concurrency with lower resource usage?

Gevent is an issue due to blocking issues we've seen with redis(and in turn launchdarkly redis) connections. The latency goes down a lot by changing to prefork on celery. On other trials redis client blocks/hangs also and gets progressively slower on green threads. We need to investigate this further independently of eventbusk.
