lukin0110··on FastAPI framework, high perf, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
Yes. But this is a very basic example. When you have an async function defined with `await` statements in it and later on in the function you do a call to a `blocking` function you need to be aware that you have to run in the threadpool.

You don't always know that a function call is blocking, because you don't always know what is happening behind the scenes of that function and on what it depends.

lukin0110··on FastAPI framework, high perf, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
I didn't explain it well in my comment. Consider the following example:

def blocking(): time.sleep(5)

@app.get("/") async def index(): blocking()

The `blocking` function will blocking the event loop. This is something you need to be aware of. Gist with a few scenarios: https://gist.github.com/lukin0110/0074ec5325224674010193bb95...

lukin0110··on FastAPI framework, high perf, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
We're using FastAPI in production at InvestSuite. Highly productive framework, very well written documentation. You get jump started right away.

Only caveat with async python. Might be tricky when using 'sync' libraries. It's not always straightforward and you'll find yourself wondering why your server is blocked from time to time. It's not a problem of FastAPI, but you need to be aware that if you do a blocking call (function is not prefixed with 'async') to a db that it blocks the event loop.

lukin0110··on Google TV relaunches with Android Market
I really like the on going developments around Google TV, Apple TV, Netflix, ... for now the world is not ready yet for such services but will be in a few years. After the mobile, the next battle will be TV.
lukin0110··on Why I’m Kissing Spotify Goodbye
Like all products, spotify is a constantly improving product. The desktop app is not that great, but the fact that i can access a lot of music within a few clicks without doing anything illegal makes me happy . If you have an exotic special taste you'll have difficulties with every service i guess. I used to listen a lot to last.fm ... but i prefer "on demand" music like spotify offers. The service still needs to improve a lot, but they will get there in the end ... its the new way of listening to music. It doesn't make sence to me to "buy" a song on itunes, since everything is moving to the cloud, "owning" a song really doesnt make sence.
lukin0110··on Facebook confirms first data center outside US on edge of Arctic Circle
Indeed, it's just sweden. In the summer it can be relative hot there :) The fact that it is cold over is not the main reason. Sweden is know for its good network infra
lukin0110··on Google+ for Google Apps users - it's a matter of days
Google Apps users could have signed up with a normal Gmail account (or create a new one). I dont understand the frustration that it wasnt possible for Google Apps since you dont really own that mail account, the domain admin can delete it!
