asgiref VS unsync

uvicorn is an ASGI server that is recommended for running FastAPI applications.

I can't seem to be able to edit on mobile. OP either meant this, or its variation, such as async_to_sync and sync_to_async.

Ofc this is a python example. I have no idea how it works in different languages.

FastAPI is a popular Python Web framework that developers use to create RESTful APIs. It is based on Pydantic and Python-type hints that assist in the serialization, deserialization, and validation of data. In this tutorial, we will use FastAPI to create a simple "Hello World" application. We test and run the application locally. FastAPI requires a ASGI server to run the application production such as Uvicorn.

Look at the intended semantics [1], and then read the implementation [2]. Can you figure out if the implementation is correct? Can you infer the possible limitations of the approach at glance? Can your async library actually handle being called with multiple event loops installed?

I have zero trust in this code and I have been bitten by fixes to this library that introduced deadlocks in my own code.

Using WebSockets in Django utilizes asynchronous Python and Django channels, making the process straightforward. Using Django channels, you can create an ASGI server, and then create a group where users can send text messages to all the other users in the group in real time. This way, you are not communicating with a particular user, but with a group, multiple users can be added.

If you're interested in the architecture itself I recommend you start by making yourself familiar with [ASGI specification](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) .

We switched to using strong typing derived from the asgiref for typing ASGI types, which makes Starlite the strongest type framework of its kind.

I saw a pycon talk recommending I use the unsync library as a simple way to mix multiprocessing threading and asyncio. https://github.com/alex-sherman/unsync how can I tell if this library is safe to use in a production environment? I wouldn't want to leave a broken dependency for my coworkers should this repo not be well maintained.

I will briefly plug my library `unsync` (https://github.com/alex-sherman/unsync#quick-overview) which wraps all these methods (multiprocessing/threading/asyncio) into singular/simple-ish API.

It's a bit overly simple, but it's helped a few times writing code the makes use of several concurrency methods and combining them together etc.

Look into unsync.
