Why AI Image Generation Should Be Async
AI image generation is often better designed as an asynchronous workflow rather than a simple request-response model. This approach allows for improved reliability and user experience, especially in production environments. By separating user requests from the generation process, systems can handle failures and delays more effectively.
- ▪AI image generation can take several seconds or minutes, making synchronous requests fragile.
- ▪Asynchronous workflows allow for better error handling and user feedback during the image generation process.
- ▪A simple state model can effectively manage the different stages of image generation, ensuring clarity and reliability.

A user enters a prompt, clicks generate, and waits for an image. For a prototype, that can work. For a production product, it usually becomes fragile. Image generation may take several seconds or minutes. A provider may return a job ID first and the final result later. Some results arrive through webhooks.
