The difference between Tokio tasks and OS threads

Stop treating tokio::spawn as a thread! I launched 1000 tasks in 2 seconds and the system stayed calm

tokio::spawn is not a thread but a lightweight task. Under Tokio’s scheduler you build highly concurrent services with sleep, timeout and select — 1000 tasks in 2 seconds with negligible overhead.
