To help you with the demonstration, let's compare both approaches—Asynchronous Calling and Cronjob—considering your document upload process involving label extraction with third-party APIs.

### **1. Asynchronous Calling Approach**

#### **Overview:**
- **Workflow:** After a user uploads a document, the system immediately triggers an asynchronous process. This process involves calling the 1st API to get the request ID, the 2nd API to check the status, and the 3rd API to fetch the extracted JSON once the status is

**ready. The system does not block the user interface and can handle multiple files simultaneously by running these tasks in the background.**

#### **Advantages:**
1. **Responsiveness:**
   - The user interface remains responsive since the API calls run in the background.
   - Users can continue uploading other documents or perform other tasks while waiting for extraction results.
  
2. **Scalability:**
   - Asynchronous tasks can be scaled to handle multiple file uploads concurrently.
   - Suitable for high-volume scenarios, where many users upload documents simultaneously.

3. **Real-time Processing:**
   - Each document is processed as soon as it is uploaded.
   - Users receive feedback or results as soon as the extraction process is complete.

4. **Failure Handling:**
   - Failures can be detected immediately, and retry mechanisms can be implemented within the asynchronous workflow.
   - Errors can be logged, and users can be notified promptly.

5. **Efficiency:**
   - Resources are utilized efficiently since the system can process multiple files in parallel without waiting for one process to finish before starting another.

#### **Disadvantages:**
1. **Complexity:**
   - Requires careful management of asynchronous tasks, especially handling timeouts, retries, and error states.
   - More complex to implement and maintain compared to a straightforward cronjob.

2. **Resource Management:**
   - High concurrency might lead to resource exhaustion (e.g., threads, memory) if not managed properly.
   - Need for monitoring and scaling mechanisms to handle peak loads.

3. **API Rate Limits:**
   - Rapid consecutive API calls might hit the third-party service's rate limits.
   - Rate limiting and throttling logic might need to be implemented.

### **2. Cronjob Approach**

#### **Overview:**
- **Workflow:** Documents are uploaded and stored in a queue or database. At regular intervals, a cronjob is triggered to process the queued documents. The cronjob sequentially calls the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd APIs for each document in the queue.

#### **Advantages:**
1. **Simplicity:**
   - Easier to implement as the process is linear and follows a set schedule.
   - Less complex codebase with fewer concurrency concerns.

2. **Controlled Execution:**
   - The cronjob runs at predefined intervals, which can prevent overloading the system with API calls.
   - Easier to manage resources since the processing is not real-time but scheduled.

3. **Resource Utilization:**
   - More predictable resource usage as the cronjob runs at fixed times and processes a known batch of files.
   - Suitable for scenarios where real-time processing is not critical.

4. **Rate Limiting:**
   - API rate limits are less likely to be hit since calls are made in a controlled, sequential manner.
   - Throttling is more manageable due to the predictable nature of cronjob execution.

#### **Disadvantages:**
1. **Lack of Real-time Processing:**
   - Delayed processing since the cronjob only runs at scheduled intervals.
   - Users might have to wait until the next cronjob run to see their results.

2. **Scalability:**
   - Less suitable for handling high-volume scenarios where documents are uploaded frequently.
   - Processing large batches during a single cronjob run might lead to performance bottlenecks.

3. **Failure Handling:**
   - Errors might not be detected immediately; issues might only be noticed during the next cronjob run.
   - Retry mechanisms are less flexible compared to asynchronous processing.

4. **User Experience:**
   - User experience might be impacted due to the delay in processing and returning results.
   - Users might perceive the system as slow or unresponsive.

### **Conclusion:**
- **Asynchronous Calling** is generally better suited for scenarios where real-time processing, responsiveness, and scalability are essential. It provides a smoother user experience and allows the system to handle multiple uploads concurrently, but it comes with increased complexity and requires careful management of resources and error states.

- **Cronjob** is simpler to implement and manage, making it a good choice for less time-sensitive processing. However, it may lead to delays in processing and might not scale as well under high load conditions.

Given that users will be uploading multiple files and responsiveness is a key concern, the **Asynchronous Calling** approach is likely the better choice for your use case.
