Best Practices#

Error Handling: ✓ Always handle rejections ✓ Use try/catch with async/await ✓ Provide meaningful error messages ✓ Consider error recovery strategies Performance: ✓ Use Promise.all for parallel execution ✓ Avoid unnecessary sequential awaits ✓ Implement timeouts for network calls ✓ Consider request caching Patterns: ✓ Use Promise.allSettled for mixed results ✓ Implement retry logic for flaky operations ✓ Use queues to limit concurrency ✓ Cancel unnecessary promises when possible

Conclusion#

Promises provide powerful abstractions for async code. Use Promise.all for parallel operations, implement proper error handling, and leverage async/await for cleaner syntax. Master patterns like retry, timeout, and queue for robust applications.
