Turn your Flask App into Async using Quart
summary
Claims Quart is a superset of the Flask API so a Flask app can be migrated by swapping imports and making handlers async; demonstrates replacing Flask with Quart and adding async/await to endpoints (replace Flask with Quart and add async). Builds a small sunrise/sunset app that calls external HTTP APIs and measures wall time: synchronous batch runs in about six seconds for 20 items, async version runs roughly 1.8 seconds — a multi× speedup with working code.
