What if somewhere along the chain of responsibility you want to keep updating a timeout variable? How is this code going to ever get to check whether the timeout has expired, cancel the tasks, and notify the user? This is a case where you may even want your middle layers to be synchronous, so it can supervise the async code, because the user will just wait forever, but you have determined through some process tha if async doesn't compete within 15 seconds, it never will. HELP you users, using async to let them continue their general mousing around but sync code 'watches the pot boil'Andyz Smith– Andyz Smith2013-09-02 15:44:16 +00:00Commented Sep 2, 2013 at 15:44

It is now 2019; it would be interesting to hear your own experiences on this after 6 years. :) Did experience help you answer this question? I'm interested since I am currently in the same boat. Do we make application service interfaces 'async' or not.Steven Jeuris– Steven Jeuris2019-10-02 13:15:35 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2019 at 13:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
