If you're seeking a way to optimize your database interactions in Node.js, I highly recommend checking out the Mysql2 node package. This package supports creating connection pools, allowing for multiple simultaneous calls to your database. By utilizing these connection pools, you can efficiently transfer information between your client and the database without any bottlenecks.
When it comes to handling asynchronous operations, having both a connection pool and code adapted for async tasks is essential. With the use of promises, such as with the Promise.all() method, you can ensure that your code runs smoothly even when certain operations take longer than expected.
