How can I improve the performance of async middleware in my application?

To improve async middleware performance, consider optimizing your database queries, using caching, and minimizing the number of await calls.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid when using async middleware?

Common pitfalls include not handling errors properly, blocking the event loop, and overusing async/await in performance-critical paths.

Can you suggest some tools to monitor async middleware performance?

You can use tools like New Relic, Datadog, or even built-in Node.js performance hooks to monitor async middleware.

How does async middleware compare to traditional middleware in terms of performance?

Async middleware can handle more concurrent requests efficiently, but it may introduce complexity in error handling and flow control.
