To send parallel requests, you can leverage Swift's concurrency features. Here are a few relevant points from different sessions at WWDC:

  1. Parallel Testing in Swift:

    • Swift testing runs test functions in parallel by default, which can significantly reduce execution time. This is especially useful in CI environments. You can use the same concurrency features in Swift for your production code as well as for testing. For more details, you can refer to the session Go further with Swift Testing.
  2. Concurrency in Swift:

    • The fundamental unit of concurrency in Swift is a task, which represents an independent concurrent execution context. Tasks are lightweight, so you can create many of them. You can wait for a task to complete to get its result or cancel it if its work becomes unnecessary. Tasks can execute concurrently, making them great for handling multiple HTTP requests. For more information, check out the session A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design.
  3. Using Task Groups:

    • Task groups allow you to create multiple tasks that perform requests in parallel. This can be particularly useful when processing multiple items, such as images, concurrently. You can limit the number of concurrent tasks to manage memory usage effectively. For an example, see the session Discover Swift enhancements in the Vision framework.
  4. Batch Translation:

    • When translating multiple strings, you can use batch translation functions to handle multiple requests efficiently. This can be done either by waiting for all results to be ready or by streaming results as they become available. For more details, refer to the session Meet the Translation API.
