is crow synchronous only?

[gittiver]

Crow is the backend, handler is blocking its worker thread, while running.
Input/ output is asynchronous.

Does it mean that other threads have to wait until the current worker thread finishes processing a request and responds to the client?

[gittiver]

No.

[gittiver]

A thread is only blocked while the handler is running, means it blocks only one request.
reading other requests and writing responses is in general asynchronous through the use of asio library (see here: https://think-async.com/Asio/).

Understood. Thank you
