BlockHound reviews and mentions

• Introducing BlockBuster: is my asyncio event loop blocked?
  2 projects | dev.to | 8 Jan 2025

  This is where BlockBuster saves the day! When activated, BlockBuster will monkey-patch several blocking Python framework methods to make them raise an error if they are called from an asyncio event loop. The default patched methods include methods for os, io, time, socket, sqlite modules. For a full list of methods detected by BlockBuster, see the project README. Then you can activate BlockBuster during your unit tests or in development mode to catch any blocking calls and fix them. If you know the awesome BlockHound library in the JVM, it's the same principle but for Python. BlockHound was a great inspiration for BlockBuster, kudos to the creators.

  There is a great tool called Blockhound we can use to detect if/when we have a blocking call in our application. This way, we can ensure that we don't break the non-blocking nature of our application by mistake while developing new features. Setting it up is fairly straightforward.

• BlockHound: how it works
  2 projects | dev.to | 20 Jun 2021

  One of the talks in my current portfolio is Migrating from Imperative to Reactive. The talk is based on a demo migrating from Spring WebMVC to Spring WebFlux in a step-by-step approach. One of the steps involves installing BlockHound: it allows to check whether a blocking call occurs in a thread it shouldn't happen and throws an exception at runtime when it happens.

• Kicking Spring Native's tires

  The first step is to make the application compatible with GraalVM. We need to remove Blockhound from the code. Blockhound allows verifying that no blocking code runs in unwanted places. It's a Java agent that requires a JDK, not a JRE. It's great for a demo, but it has nothing to do with a production application.
