# How can asyncio be used to speed up integration tasks?

# What is asyncio?
- Python library to write concurrent code using the async/await syntax
- It lets you run and manage Python coroutines, create and manage event loops, etc...
- Often a perfect fit for IO-bound code
- Alternative to multiprocessing, threading

---
# Concurrent vs. Parallel
- asyncio operates only one CPU core inside one thread
---
# IO-bound vs CPU-bound
- io-bound code
- cpi-bound code

# Hello World! Example
```
import asyncio
async def main():
print('Hello ...')
await asyncio.sleep(1) # Other code can be run while waiting.
print('... World!')
asyncio.run(main())
```
