It happens a lot, you write a bash script and half way it exits due an error. You fix the error in your system and run the script again. But half of the steps in your scripts fail immediately because they were already applied to your system. To build resilient systems you need to write software that is idempotent.

Traditionally, Python has been a blocking language when it comes to I/O and networking, meaning lines of code are executed one at a time. With network requests, we have to wait for the response before we can make another request. Meanwhile, our computers sit idling. Luckily, there are ways to address this, the most exciting of which is leveraging asynchronous requests with the aiohttp package. This article explains how asynchronicity can help solve these issues – and how you can put it into place within your own code!
