💡 What: Replaced the synchronous Groq client with AsyncGroq and updated the chat.completions.create calls to use await in backend/main.py. Added explanatory comments detailing the expected impact.
🎯 Why: Synchronous network I/O in FastAPI blocks the asyncio event loop. Using the standard Groq client meant that during the 500ms-2s it takes to generate an AI summary or voice response, the server could not process any other incoming requests, severely limiting concurrency.
📊 Impact: Significantly increases concurrent request capacity and eliminates latency spikes on other endpoints caused by event loop blocking.
🔬 Measurement: Can be verified by running a load test against the API. While one request is blocked waiting for Groq, other endpoints (like /rooms or /participants) will now respond immediately instead of timing out.
