JavaScript provides several Promise combinators for handling multiple async operations. Here's how to use them.

Best Practices#

Choosing Methods: ✓ Promise.all - all must succeed ✓ Promise.allSettled - need all results ✓ Promise.race - first to settle ✓ Promise.any - first to succeed Error Handling: ✓ Always handle rejections ✓ Use specific error types ✓ Add timeouts to prevent hanging ✓ Log errors appropriately Performance: ✓ Parallelize independent operations ✓ Limit concurrency for resources ✓ Batch large operations ✓ Cancel unnecessary requests Avoid: ✗ Unhandled promise rejections ✗ Infinite parallel requests ✗ Forgetting await ✗ Nested promise chains

Conclusion#

Promise combinators enable powerful async patterns. Use Promise.all when all operations must succeed, Promise.allSettled when you need all results regardless of outcome, Promise.race for timeouts and first-response patterns, and Promise.any for fallback strategies. Combine these with proper error handling for robust async code.
