Plumber: Asynchronous Route Execution

{plumber} is an R package that allows users to create web APIs by decorating R functions using {roxygen2}-like comments. In the latest major release, asynchronous code (using {future} or {promises}) may be inserted at any stage of a plumber route execution, enabling parallel processing using multiple workers. In this talk, I will go through how you can set up your own asynchronous {plumber} API to leverage your full computing potential.
