Full Stack Python's page on the topic has quite a lot of resources:

The thing to keep in mind with old tutorials is that the state of
Python's own async support has evolved a lot recently.  Before, you
absolutely had to depend on a framework which would do the work of
supporting concurrenct connections or you would go insane, but now
you'll start to see examples, I expect, of doing simple things without
bringing in one of the frameworks.  (If your intent is production work,
the well tested frameworks are still going to be the best bet)
