# blitz ⚡

> A high-performance async HTTP client library that rivals Go's `net/http` in raw throughput, concurrency, and reliability — written in pure Python.

---

## What blitz is and why it exists

Python's standard HTTP libraries were designed for correctness, not speed. `requests` is synchronous. `aiohttp` is fast but raw. `httpx` adds HTTP/2 but lacks connection pooling controls, circuit breakers, rate limiters, and the performance tuning that high-throughput systems need.

**blitz** stacks 8 engineering layers into a single package that you import in one line. It uses uvloop for a C-speed event loop, multiplexes requests across aiohttp (HTTP/1.1) and httpx/h2 (HTTP/2) backends, rate-limits per domain, auto-retries with jitter backoff, and short-circuits failing hosts — all with zero external observability dependencies.

Target metrics on an 8-core machine:
- **50,000+ requests/sec** on localhost benchmarks
- **10,000+ concurrent connections** without crashing
- **p99 latency under 50ms** under sustained load
- **0% unhandled errors** — every error is caught, classified, retried or reported
- **< 200MB memory** at 10k concurrency
- **Beats Go net/http on RPS** in the benchmark suite

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install blitz-http

# For maximum performance (Linux/macOS only):
pip install "blitz-http[uvloop]"
```

Or from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/blitz
cd blitz
pip install -e ".[uvloop,dev]"
```

---

## Quick Start

### Simple parallel fetch

```python
import blitz

# Fire and forget — fetch a list of URLs in parallel (synchronous call)
results = blitz.fetch_all(
    ["https://httpbin.org/get"] * 1000,
    concurrency=200,
    timeout=10.0,
)
print(f"Got {len(results)} responses, first status: {results[0].status}")
```

### Single async fetch

```python
import asyncio
import blitz

async def main():
    response = await blitz.get("https://httpbin.org/get")
    print(response.status)       # 200
    print(response.latency_ms)   # 45.2
    print(response.json())       # {"args": {}, "headers": {...}, ...}

asyncio.run(main())
```

### POST with JSON body

```python
async def main():
    response = await blitz.post(
        "https://httpbin.org/post",
        json={"user": "alice", "action": "login"},
    )
    print(response.ok, response.json())
```

---

## Advanced Client API

```python
import asyncio
import blitz

async def main():
    client = blitz.Client(
        # Worker config
        min_workers=8,
        max_workers=128,

        # Connection config
        max_connections=2000,
        max_connections_per_host=200,
        keepalive_timeout=30.0,
        connection_timeout=5.0,

        # Request config
        timeout=10.0,
        follow_redirects=True,
        max_redirects=5,

        # Rate limiting
        rate_limit=1000,            # global requests/sec
        per_domain_limit=200,       # per domain requests/sec
        burst_multiplier=2.0,       # allow 2x burst for 1 second

        # Retry config
        retry=5,
        retry_strategy="jitter",    # "exponential" | "linear" | "jitter"
        retry_min_wait=0.1,
        retry_max_wait=30.0,

        # Circuit breaker
        circuit_breaker=True,
        cb_failure_threshold=5,
        cb_recovery_timeout=30.0,

        # HTTP config
        http2=True,
        verify_ssl=True,
        headers={"User-Agent": "blitz/1.0"},
    )

    async with client:
        # Batch requests with mixed methods and priorities
        responses = await client.batch([
            blitz.Request("GET",  "https://api.example.com/users"),
            blitz.Request("POST", "https://api.example.com/data", json={"x": 1}),
            blitz.Request("GET",  "https://api.example.com/items", priority="high"),
            blitz.Request("GET",  "https://api.example.com/logs",  priority="low"),
        ])

        for resp in responses:
            print(resp.status, resp.latency_ms)

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Streaming large responses

```python
async with client.stream("GET", "https://example.com/bigfile") as resp:
    async for chunk in resp.content.iter_chunked(8192):
        process(chunk)
```
