Normally I would avoid using await on the front end in favor of .then(), in order to avoid blocking execution. What happens on the Velo backend when I use await? Does it cause execution to pause for the current user? Or (hopefully not) all users of my website?

Await on the backend

I believe each user has it’s own thread which does not block other process.

Wix’s Velo’s backend is based on node.js (v14) so it would work the same

To be confirm by Velo team
