Pros: Composable async without raw callbacks; integrates with thread pools. Cons: Default ForkJoinPool.commonPool() shared — inject Executor for isolation.
Detailed answer
Trade-offs for CompletableFuture Composition: Pros: Composable async without raw callbacks; integrates with thread pools. Cons: Default ForkJoinPool.commonPool() shared — inject Executor for isolation. Decision rule: choose CompletableFuture Composition when the benefits outweigh operational cost for your SLO. Parent context: Baseline: supplyAsync runs async task; thenApply transforms; thenCompose flattens nested futures; allOf waits for batch. Exceptionally/handle for error paths.
