When a device has a plenty of memory, the difference can’t be seen in the naked eye.

What async and

await keywords do in a program is it lets the functions of the program to run asynchronously, meaning
the function will still run but in the background, making the program “faster”. The additional changes in
the code lets the database operations run in the background, freeing up memory for other tasks.
