Problem
Sequential await calls waste time when operations could run in parallel.
Solution
Use Promise.all() to execute multiple async operations simultaneously.
Benefit
Can reduce execution time by 70% for independent async operations.
Code Example
// Sequential (slow): 3 seconds total
const user = await fetchUser();
const posts = await fetchPosts();
const comments = await fetchComments();
// Parallel (fast): 1 second total
const [user, posts, comments] = await Promise.all([
fetchUser(),
fetchPosts(),
fetchComments()
]);
