Callbacks give us an interface with which to say, “and when you’re done doing that, do all this.” This allows us to have as many IO operations as our OS can handle happening at the same time. For example, in a web server with hundreds or thousands of pending requests with multiple blocking queries, performing the blocking queries asynchronously gives you the ability to be able to continue working and not just sit still and wait until the blocking operations come back.
