The point is that Bubble runs your code in a synchronous way.  
Any code that is asynchronous must be inside `context.async` or it will not be handled by bubble’s logic.  
It doesn’t matter if you use async/await or then/catch.

Example with async/await:

```auto
const result = context.async(async (callback) => {
  try {
    const result = await doStuff();
    callback(null, result);
  } catch (error) {
    callback(error);
  }
});

```

Example with then/catch:

```auto
const result = context.async((callback) => {
  doStuff()
    .then((result) => {
      callback(null, result);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      callback(error);
    });
});

```
