Answer
Use locking mechanisms, sequential awaits, atomic operations, or cancellation tokens. Prevents inconsistent updates when multiple async tasks modify shared resources.
Quick Answer
Race condition prevention: cancel the previous operation when a new one starts (AbortController for fetch), use a request ID and discard stale responses if a newer one arrives, sequence operations with a queue (only process next after previous completes), or use optimistic locking on shared state (check version before write, retry on conflict).
