How can I implement asynchronous queries in ASP.NET Core?

You can use the async and await keywords in your controller actions to handle asynchronous queries. This improves performance.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public async Task<IActionResult> GetItemsAsync()
{
    var items = await _context.Items.ToListAsync();
    return Ok(items);
}

What are the benefits of using asynchronous queries?

Asynchronous queries can improve the scalability of your application by freeing up threads to handle more requests while waiting for I/O operations.

Are there any drawbacks to using async/await?

Yes, if not used properly, it can lead to complexity in error handling and debugging. It's important to understand the context.
