Groq Events & Async Patterns

Overview

Build event-driven architectures around Groq's inference API. Groq does not provide native webhooks, but its sub-second latency enables unique patterns: real-time SSE streaming, batch processing with callbacks, queue-based pipelines, and event processors that use Groq as an LLM classification/extraction engine.

This skill uses Read, Write, and Edit to scaffold and update these handlers in your codebase, and curl to exercise the resulting endpoints. Step 1 (the SSE endpoint) is inline below; the batch, webhook-processor, health-monitor, and Python async patterns live in references/implementation.md.

Prerequisites

• groq-sdk (Node) or groq (Python) installed, GROQ_API_KEY set
• Queue system for batch patterns (BullMQ, Redis, SQS)
• Understanding of Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming
