First off, I totally agree. Not as easy as it should be to write an async web server in python. FastAPI is probably your best bet. I usually use Sanic. Easy to accidentally block though. That said, it sounds like you’re serving a large model. No amount of async/await or goroutines can solve this problem. A non-blocking web server is a godsend for I/O-bound tasks, but a large model is just a deep call stack - lots of multiply, nonlinear function like RELu, then add, times a billion. This would still block, even if you had perfect async/await code. I made some assumptions here, but if I’m right, the answer is “shrink your model” and/or “buy more compute”. Neither of which are easy. But if you’re trying to shrink a model, check out Distiller https://github.com/NervanaSystems/distiller Edit: the restriction I talk about is for event-loop base

d servers using something like uvloop or asyncio under the hood. Maybe this restriction doesn’t hold for other concurrency modes.
