Posts on Asyncio

  1. asyncio vs anyio

    TL;DR

    anyio is an async library that runs on top of asyncio or Trio, providing a unified API with structured concurrency. It solves asyncio’s design limitations while offering backend portability.

  2. Asyncio Module: Asynchronous Programming with async/await

    TL;DR

    Asyncio enables asynchronous programming with async/await syntax, allowing single-threaded concurrent execution perfect for I/O-bound tasks like web requests and file operations.

    Interesting!

    Asyncio can handle thousands of concurrent connections with minimal memory overhead - a single asyncio application can often outperform traditional threaded servers by avoiding context switching costs.
