This post explains the fundamental concepts of synchronous and asynchronous architecture in JavaScript, and also covers the usage of callbacks, promises, and async/await for handling asynchronous operations.

Callback vs. Promises vs. Async/Await

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. Super informative

This topic always confuses me when I started as a junior dev. Thanks for the clear explanation!

Nice article, but I really wish people who wrote these articles about async/await would not confuse new developers by explaining threads to them. It isn’t helpful , and just needs to be unlearned.
