what's faster async or sync ?
so I came across a video and it was talking about this article
https://www.softwareatscale.dev/p/the-hidden-performance-cost-of-nodejs#:~:text=NodeJS%20and%20GraphQL%20are%20popular,promises%2C%20which%20degrades%20request%20performance.
which says that the sync is a way faster approach than the promises/async and shows some tables showing the difference what would be the best approach since I always use async functions in serverless functions

NodeJS and GraphQL are popular technologies for building web applications, but in my experience, they come with certain scaling and performance tradeoffs to be aware of. tl;dr: GraphQL's modular structure generally leads to code that instantiates excessive promises, which degrades request performance. Benchmarks show a 2-3x latency increase.
A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
