In this section, we will see the asynchronous execution support in Spring. In certain cases, we need to execute some tasks asynchronously, because the result of that task does not require the user, so we can process that task in a separate thread. The main benefit of asynchronous programming is that we can increase the performance and responsiveness of our application.

Spring provides annotation support for asynchronous method execution via @EnableAsync and @Async. Let's discuss them in detail.
