Today we will dive into some strategies you can use to scale Ruby on Rails applications to a huge user base. One obvious way of scaling applications is to throw more money at them. And it works amazingly well — add a few more servers, upgrade your database server, and voila, a lot of the performance issues just go poof! But it is often also possible to scale applications without adding more servers. That's what we will discuss today. Let's get going!
The easiest way to understand asynchronous code is to realize that the code does not execute sequentially. This can be difficult to comprehend in JavaScript, especially if you come from a programming language that's synchronous or sequential by default, like PHP. In this post, you will learn how to write async (also known as 'non-sequential') code in JavaScript efficiently. You'll learn the basics of using callbacks, promises, and the modern async/await style. Let's get started!

This ensures that any changes to these values need only be made in one place rather than having to make these changes in many tests.
