I'm working on a medium-sized JavaScript codebase where async operations are scattered across services, UI handlers, and background jobs. The current mix of callbacks, promises, and occasional async/await fragments makes the flow hard to follow and error handling inconsistent. I'm considering a unified pattern—maybe a centralized async utility layer or a convention for always using async/await with a standardized error wrapper. How do you usually structure async workflows to keep the code readable and maintainable? Any tips on organizing the flow, handling errors uniformly, and avoiding callback hell without tying the solution to a specific library? Would love to hear your approaches.

I tried to wrap every async call in my own “{data, err}” helper and now I spend more time debugging the wrapper than the real code 😂. The sweet spot is to go all‑in on async/await, use a tiny `run(asyncFn)` helper that does a `try/catch` and re‑throws, and let errors bubble up to a central error‑handler or job runner—keeps the call stack flat and eliminates callback hell. Keep that helper in a single `utils/async` file so you don’t rewrite it everywhere 🚀.
