How can I improve the performance of my Flask application using asyncio?

You can improve performance by using asyncio to handle concurrent requests, allowing your app to process multiple requests simultaneously.

What are the benefits of using asyncio with Flask?

The main benefits include better handling of I/O-bound tasks, reduced latency, and improved scalability under high load.

Are there any specific libraries I should use with Flask and asyncio?

Yes, you can use libraries like aiohttp for asynchronous HTTP requests and asyncio for managing asynchronous tasks.

Can you provide a simple code example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask
import asyncio

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/async')
async def async_route():
    await asyncio.sleep(1)  # Simulate an async operation
    return 'Hello, Async World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
