What are the best practices for asynchronous programming?

Asynchronous programming allows for non-blocking operations. Key practices include using callbacks, promises, and async/await.

Can you explain how async/await works?

Sure! Async/await is syntactic sugar over promises. You use 'async' before a function to make it return a promise, and 'await' pauses execution until the promise resolves.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid?

Common pitfalls include not handling errors properly, creating unintentional race conditions, and overusing async functions.

How can I improve the performance of my async code?

You can improve performance by minimizing the number of awaited calls, using concurrency with Promise.all, and avoiding blocking operations.
