Motor

Motor is an asynchronous Python driver for MongoDB that enables developers to work with MongoDB using non-blocking I/O patterns, making it ideal for high-performance and scalable applications. Built on top of Python’s Tornado and asyncio frameworks, Motor lets you issue database operations without blocking the event loop, enabling concurrency in web servers, real-time systems, and microservices. It provides a familiar API surface similar to the official synchronous PyMongo driver, so you can migrate or write MongoDB code in Python without having to learn a completely new interface. Because it integrates with popular async ecosystems like FastAPI, Sanic, and aiohttp, Motor is a natural fit for modern async Python stacks where throughput and responsiveness matter. It also supports change streams, grid file system (GridFS), and the full range of CRUD and aggregation operations available in MongoDB.
