.NET Core Microservices - Async Await is not Async Communication in the Project

The video tutorial explains the use of async and await in API methods, highlighting that while these keywords are used, they result in synchronous communication because the thread waits for a response before proceeding. This is contrasted with true asynchronous communication, where execution continues without waiting for a response. The tutorial clarifies that using await makes the process synchronous and hints at future videos that will cover implementing true asynchronous communication.

What happens if a method called with await takes a long time to respond?

How can one implement true asynchronous communication in a program?
