Overview of this book

Today’s developers need something more powerful and customizable when it comes to web app development. They require effective tools to build something unique to meet their specific needs, and not simply glue a bunch of things together built by others. This is where Sanic comes into the picture. Built to be unopinionated and scalable, Sanic is a next-generation Python framework and server tuned for high performance. This Sanic guide starts by helping you understand Sanic’s purpose, significance, and use cases. You’ll learn how to spot different issues when building web applications, and how to choose, create, and adapt the right solution to meet your requirements. As you progress, you’ll understand how to use listeners, middleware, and background tasks to customize your application. The book will also take you through real-world examples, so you will walk away with practical knowledge and not just code snippets. By the end of this web development book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to design, build, and deploy high-performance, scalable, and maintainable web applications with the Sanic framework.

Making use of ctx

Before we begin with the tool belt, there is one more concept that we must become familiar with. It is fairly ubiquitous in Sanic, and you will see it in a lot of places. I am talking about: ctx. What is it?

It stands for context. These ctx objects can be found in several places, and it is impractical to build a professional-grade Sanic web application without making good use of them. What they enable is the passing of state from one location in your application to another. They exist for your own usage as a developer, and you should feel free to use them however you wish. That is to say that the ctx objects are yours to add information to without worrying about name collisions or otherwise impacting the operation of Sanic.

The most common example that comes to mind is your database connection object. You create it once, but you want to have access to it in many places. How does this work? Have a look at the following code snippet:
