This is the case for most of the web applications.

Many, many users, but your server is waiting 🕙 for their not-so-good connection to send their requests.

And then waiting 🕙 again for the responses to come back.

This "waiting" 🕙 is measured in microseconds, but still, summing it all, it's a lot of waiting in the end.

That's why it makes a lot of sense to use asynchronous ⏸🔀⏯ code for web APIs.

Ao invés disso, sendo um sistema "assíncrono", uma vez finalizada, a tarefa pode esperar um pouco (alguns microssegundos) para que o computador / programa finalize o que quer que esteja fazendo,e então volte para pegar o resultado e continue trabalhando com ele.

### Autres formes de code asynchrone

L'utilisation d'`async` et `await` est relativement nouvelle dans ce langage.

Mais cela rend la programmation asynchrone bien plus simple.

Cette même syntaxe (ou presque) était aussi incluse dans les versions modernes de Javascript (dans les versions navigateur et NodeJS).
