Understanding of GIL

Hi Devs,

I am currently writing some custom Django commands for data updation, my
workflow is like

Fetch data from *PostgreSQL*.
Call *Elasticsearch* for searching based on the data fetched from
*PostgreSQL*.
Query *PostgreSQL* and do an upsert behavior.
I am using pandas data frame to hold my data during processing.

The host we are using to run this jobs has a *CPython* interpreter as given
by

`platform.python_implementation()`

I want to confirm whether *multithreading* would be a better choice here,
given the fact that GIL is the biggest blocker(I agree it has to be there)
for the same in CPython interpreters.

In case further information is required do let me know.

Thanks
