Concurrency refers to the ability of a program to manage multiple tasks seemingly at the same time. While a single CPU core can only execute one instruction at a time, concurrency allows programs to juggle multiple tasks by rapidly switching between them. This creates the illusion of parallelism, enhancing responsiveness and improving performance for I/O bound workloads.


There are two ways one can achieve concurrency in Python:



  1. Multithreading

  2. Asynchronous Programming (Asyncio)


Let's explore them one by one. This time we’re …
