Learn how to send SMS notifications from a FastAPI web application using Twilio.

Twilio is all about powering communication and doing it conveniently and fast in any language. But if you have a Python application written with the asyncio package, it may not be completely clear how to translate the examples from the documentation into non-blocking code that works well with an asynchronous loop.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to properly deliver SMS notifications from a FastAPI application. The techniques shown here are also applicable to other asyncio frameworks.
