Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: Async programming has been an important part of the Python web and server world for two decades.
Compared to multi-threaded approaches, async frameworks can provide a much better scalability and a safer programming paradigm.
With the introduction of [asyncio][1] in the standard library, and especially [PEP-492][2] and its new async/await syntax in Python 3.5, the whole area has therefore seen a major hype, with several tools and frameworks emerging around the asyncio ecosystem.

In this talk, we will show what makes async programming so interesting, and how the fast [Tornado][3] web framework can be used to implement web services and web sites on top of the asyncio framework.

I will be giving this talk together with Diego Arroyo. We also submitted a tutorial on the same topic, please choose which format you prefer (or both).
