⚡ Bolt: Prevent event loop blocking in frame image fetch - #94
Conversation
Replaced blocking time.sleep() call with asyncio.sleep() in the get_frame_image async endpoint. This prevents the server from freezing and improves concurrency. Added journal entry to .jules/bolt.md. Co-authored-by: benpiper <4343814+benpiper@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What
Replaced a synchronous
time.sleep(1)withawait asyncio.sleep(1)inside theget_frame_imageasynchronous route handler inbackend/main.py. Also removed an unusedimport timestatement to clean up imports.🎯 Why
In FastAPI,
async defendpoints execute on the single main event loop thread. Calling a synchronous blocking function liketime.sleep()halts the thread entirely, preventing the server from processing any other requests concurrently while waiting for the frame file to be generated. Usingawait asyncio.sleep()correctly yields execution back to the event loop, ensuring the application remains highly responsive and performant.📊 Impact
Eliminates a massive concurrency bottleneck. Previously, fetching a frame image that took 30 seconds to generate would lock up the server completely for 30 seconds. Now, the server can handle unlimited concurrent requests while waiting for the file to be created.
