Leveraging Async/Await in ASP.NET for Enhanced Performance

This article explains the async/await pattern in ASP.NET (and ASP.NET Core), illustrating its use for I/O-bound operations with code examples, discussing common pitfalls such as deadlocks (avoid .Result/.Wait(), use ConfigureAwait(false)), advising against overuse for CPU-bound tasks, and outlining best practices for error handling, asynchronous libraries, and performance monitoring; it is a programming/architecture guide rather than a security incident report.
