[Python] Use `httpx` To Replace `requests` For Asynchronous Requests
Last Updated on 2024-07-28 by Clay
In Python programming, we often use the requests module for HTTP requests. However, requests can become a bottleneck when connecting frontend and backend services due to its synchronous request handling. Recently, I experienced Kubernetes probe blockages caused by using requests, which led to the unintended deletion of my service container. In such scenarios, httpx might be a more suitable module for asynchronous request handling.
