The document discusses the use of CompletableFutures in Java to handle asynchronous query results, emphasizing the differences between concurrency and parallelism. It details how CompletableFutures, introduced in Java 8, allow for the chaining and composition of tasks, improving performance and control in executing asynchronous tasks. The document also outlines the implementation of CompletableFutures within frameworks like Axon and the overall benefits of leveraging this approach in API design.
