Async Programming with @Async

Not every piece of work needs to finish before you respond to the client. This module is how to kick off background work from inside a request without making the caller wait for it.

Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Mark a method @Async and explain what changes about how callers invoke it.
  • Intermediate: Return a CompletableFuture from an async method and compose multiple async calls together.
  • Advanced: Diagnose why @Async silently doesn't work when called from within the same class, and configure a proper thread pool for async execution.
