In which cases is it recommended to use synchronous API calls?

Answer from AI
Synchronous API calls are recommended in cases where:
- Sequential data processing is required, and the next step depends on the result of the current call.
- The service response time is small, and blocking the thread does not lead to significant delays.
- Simplicity of implementation is more important than scalability or high performance.
- In applications with a limited number of concurrent requests, where asynchrony does not provide significant advantages.
For example, when performing a simple database query in a console application or during configuration initialization, when you need to wait for the result before proceeding.
