## From README

Async Python Patterns Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems. When to Use This Skill Building async web APIs (FastAPI, aiohttp, Sanic) Implementing concurrent I/O operations (database, file, network) Creating web scrapers with concurrent requests Developing real-time applications (WebSocket servers, chat systems) Processing multiple independent tasks simultaneously Building microservices with async communication Optimizing I/O-bound workloads Implementing async background tasks and queues Sync vs Async Decision Guide Before adopting async, consider whether it's the right choice for your use case.
