In Node.js, is it possible to run a middleware function asynchronously?

QUESTION

In Node.js, is it possible to run a middleware function asynchronously?

Asked 2020-Aug-10 at 00:33

I've built a middleware function to validate user access tokens (JWT) ... if the JWT has expired, I automatically create a new access token from the user's refresh token (if it as well is valid, of course).

I imagine that at some point, if I have enough users, authorization could be a bottleneck. I'd like to ensure these functions are running asynchronously (e.g. via the UV threadpool).

Is this possible, or do I even have to worry about this?

ADDENDUM:

This is the decryption routine I'm using in my middleware function. I'm also using jsonwebtoken.

It's actually pretty hard to write code that blocks the main thread in Node for a significant time unless you are doing some seriously heavy lifting, such as generating very large reports or the like. Authorization via JWT tokens is totally lightweight and will not be a problem, I can virtually guarantee that. You will not need to push that type of work off onto a separate thread, if that was the plan.
