Async Call To Services

Question

Hi Is there any time it would not be a good idea to call web services async? My data layer is a REST-based interface and I thinking of adopting an async-only approach to all the CRUD in the system. Is there anything I should know?

Answer 1

I guess not! After so many months of non-response, I guess I should just stay with my conclusion that it's all good ... if I can cope with the additional code complexity of handling async operations.

However, a proof of concept that puts some metrics around the difference using proper message size, data load and user load models, network infrastructure and server resources will be a very definitive approach.
