Preventing Request Blocking in FastAPI with Synchronous Code in Async Endpoints

Identifying the Blocking Behavior A common pitfall in FastAPI occurs when a synchronous, blocking operation is placed directly inside a coroutine endpoint. This causes the event loop thread to freeze, preventing other requests from being processed until the blocking call finishes. Consider the following minimal reproduction, where a simulated d ...
