.NET supports asynchronous code using the
Task asynchronous programming model. However, for .NET we have decided to implement a
lazy loading feature instead of a fully asynchronous approach as we believe this gives better control to the developer.
Java supports asynchronous code using the
CompletableFuture class. For Java we have decided to implement a
lazy loading feature instead of a fully asynchronous approach as we believe this gives better control to the developer.
PHP is single-threaded and does not support non-blocking execution out of the box. The
Pipeline has no support for
asynchronous execution nor
lazy loading in PHP.
In Node.js, the
Pipeline uses JavaScript promises to process requests without blocking by default.
See the node documentation for more details about blocking vs non-blocking calls.
