It may be a naive question, but I'm confused with the promise behavior

So I have a middleware doing something like this:

module.exports = async(ctx, next) => {
   dbOperation();
   dbOperation();
   dbOperation();
   dbOperation();
   dbOperation();
   await next();
}

And I see that not all dbOperations are being executed, but if I change to this:

module.exports = async(ctx, next) => {
   await dbOperation();
   await dbOperation();
   await dbOperation();
   await dbOperation();
   await dbOperation();
   await next();
}

Then it works, so is the request finishing before all Promises are correctly dispatched?

Yea if you don’t need to wait, then just doing doOperation() is fine, but you’ll want to doOperation().catch(fn) to have some sort of error logging

Thanks for all the great tips, guys!
