I'm new to WebDev, explain to me why or why it wouldn't be OK for all users to access a global Lark() parser object?

Agreed - generally speaking you’d need to be searching for Celery, cron, or management commands to find these. Those are the common mechanisms for managing processes external to Django.

Posting these in no particular order, as I find them:

Using redis as a communication channel between Django and an external process:

• How to integrate GPIO input into django?

One specific comment regarding external processes:

• Create globally available objects based on a model data - #4 by KenWhitesell

Managing external processes (see the entire thread):

• Create multiple background tasks that poll trading prices

• Django scheduler

• Can I run a bot inside a Django project that will run independently of other Django apps?

• Start another process with Django

• Schedule a task with Django

• Timed events and their outcome (messages)

• Is celery designed for expensive operations?

Single comments I’ll highlight:

• Why YOLO model loading for every call and how can I solve? - #7 by KenWhitesell
• How to continue to execute python code after responding to the client's request in the view? - #2 by KenWhitesell
