Python asyncio - Async/Await Concurrency

Overview

Python's asyncio library enables writing concurrent code using async/await syntax. It's ideal for I/O-bound operations like HTTP requests, database queries, file operations, and WebSocket connections. asyncio provides non-blocking execution without the complexity of threading or multiprocessing.

Key Features:

  • async/await syntax for readable concurrent code
  • Event loop for managing concurrent operations
  • Tasks for running multiple coroutines concurrently
  • Primitives: locks, semaphores, events, queues
  • HTTP client/server with aiohttp
  • Database async support (asyncpg, aiomysql, motor)
  • FastAPI async endpoints
  • WebSocket support
  • Background task management
