I found myself wrestling with event loops, queues, and the nuances of asyncio.create_task vs. asyncio.to_thread. It became very clear that understanding the difference between concurrency and parallelism is absolutely crucial in this space. Clever scheduling can mitigate blocking, but over-scheduling will inevitably lead to performance issues.</p><p>Architectural considerations became a major focus. I learned firsthand that cramming everything into a single process, while tempting, isn't always the best approach. Separating processes for scalability and future enhancements is something I'll definitely keep in mind for future projects.</p><p>This project was a great learning experience, and I'm looking forward to applying these lessons to future projects. If you're interested in asyncio, webhooks, or building chatbots, I'd love to hear your thoughts!<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/asyncio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asyncio</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/telegrambot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>telegrambot</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/fastapi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fastapi</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/webdevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webdevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/opentowork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opentowork</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/fedihire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fedihire</span></a></p>
