JavaScript Promise Patterns

Promises are fundamental to async JavaScript. Here are essential patterns.

Best Practices#

Error Handling:
✓ Always handle rejections
✓ Use specific error types
✓ Add context when rethrowing
✓ Consider partial failures

Performance:
✓ Use Promise.all for parallel work
✓ Implement timeouts
✓ Consider caching
✓ Limit concurrency

Code Quality:
✓ Prefer async/await for readability
✓ Keep chains short
✓ Extract complex logic to functions
✓ Document expected errors

Patterns:
✓ Use retry for transient failures
✓ Implement circuit breakers
✓ Consider queue patterns
✓ Use cancellation when needed

Promise patterns enable robust async code. Use parallel execution for performance, proper error handling for reliability, and patterns like retry and caching for resilience. Master these patterns to write production-ready async JavaScript.
