Implements high-performance asynchronous patterns in FastAPI for building concurrent, non-blocking APIs and real-time services.

This skill provides specialized guidance for leveraging Python's asyncio within the FastAPI framework, enabling developers to build highly scalable web services. It covers essential patterns including async vs. sync route selection, asynchronous database integration with SQLAlchemy and Motor, and advanced real-time features like WebSockets and Server-Sent Events (SSE). By following these implementation patterns, developers can ensure their applications handle massive concurrency efficiently while maintaining clean, professional code structures.
