OrmLite new Configuration Model and Defaults

The episode introduces OrmLite's new Async Tasks Builder, a tool designed to simplify running multiple independent database requests in parallel within asynchronous applications.

While asynchronous operations improve thread utilization, they do not inherently parallelize sequential database requests, which often leads to less optimal performance, then contrasts this complexity with languages like TypeScript, which more easily handles parallel database requests.

AsyncDbTasksBuilder allows developers to effortlessly execute up to eight async tasks concurrently while returning positionally typed results similar to TypeScript's destructuring capabilities. It supports mixing and matching standard async Task and Task<T> APIs and how errors are handled where exceptions are only thrown when the tasks are awaited.
