In practice, many developers resort to using asynchronous methods without understanding their implications, often citing them as best practices without exploring their advantages over synchronous methods.
The experiment compares two App Services: one using synchronous methods that block during database operations and one using asynchronous methods that allow for non-blocking calls, highlighting performance differences.
By running locust simulations, we can distinctly observe how the synchronous endpoint's user interactions result in longer response times and blocked resources compared to the more efficient asynchronous calls.
Ultimately, understanding the principles behind async and await not only enhances performance but also influences scalability decisions when building applications, especially in a cloud environment.
