What are async patterns in large applications?

Senior JavaScript
Quick Answer Async patterns at scale: event-driven architecture (EventEmitter/MessageBus between modules), worker pools for CPU tasks, request queuing to rate-limit API calls, optimistic UI updates with rollback, Saga pattern for multi-step async flows, and circuit breakers for external service calls. Avoid long sequential await chains for operations that could run in parallel.

Answer

Patterns include Promises, async/await, observables, event-driven architecture, and concurrency handling via Promise.all or race conditions. Ensures scalable and responsive user interfaces.
