I am creating an auction that will be hosting millions to possibly

us for over 100k+ users per second?

Just being "asychronous" won't get you there. Start small and make sure
you are treating your database right. Use database views to limit
excessive queries and to better aggregate your data instead of trying to
stuff everything into a python object. Use a CDN to host as much static
files as possible and even provide limited caching.
And above all, don't plan out your "scaling" problems until you actually
have enough money flowing to do so. I once worked for a startup that
planned out having over a million customers on one platform. This was
before the days of cheap AWS instances and so we allocated the needed
resources and rack space in a data center and paid for expensive
licensed software that was "web scale". We were spending over 1.5
million a year on hosting and software license costs. After 5 years we
had finally grown to 70,000 customers but that still did not cover the
costs of running the company and after a couple more years, closed shop.
If we would have just started off simple with single django instance
running on a box in a closet somewhere that company would probably still
exist. They had a good product and market, but planning for a
hypothetical future killed it.
