The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
Before adopting async, consider whether it's the right choice for your use case.
| Use Case | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|
| Many concurrent network/DB calls | asyncio |
| CPU-bound computation | multiprocessing or thread pool |
| Mixed I/O + CPU | Offload CPU work with asyncio.to_thread() |
| Simple scripts, few connections | Sync (simpler, easier to debug) |
| Web APIs with high concurrency | Async frameworks (FastAPI, aiohttp) |
Key Rule: Stay fully sync or fully async within a call path. Mixing creates hidden blocking and complexity.
The event loop is the heart of asyncio, managing and scheduling asynchronous tasks.
