# Long Running Tasks
|
|
|
|
This section includes the recommended approaches to handling long running tasks (LRTs) in REST APIs.
|
|
|
|
You can identify a LRT quite easily. The main factor to consider are the metrics from latency of the endpoint. If it requiress tens of seconds even minutes we are facing a problem related to LRTs.
|
|
|
|
LRTs cannot be handled in a regular straight synchronous call. The amount of commited recources at the network, client and server levels are huge when connections are blocked for several minutes.
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended to follow a non-blocking solution as it is proposed in this section.
