Asynchronous task execution
Use asyncio to write concurrent code using the async and await syntax. Cooperative multitasking yields control back to the event loop during I/O operations.
Worked example
How it reads
- await asyncio.gather(...) runs multiple coroutines concurrently
- asyncio.sleep yields control back to the loop without blocking

Cloud tip: Multithreading is CPU-bound limited by the GIL in Python; asyncio is perfect for I/O-bound concurrency.
