Use Case

Async/await syntax has certain performance benefits over manual promise manipulation it would be nice to obtain those gains where we can. One instance in our driver of being a promise only interface is withTransaction.

Unknowns

• How deep can the async await syntax go?
  • (update: Feb 28, 2024) We have converted more of the internals of the driver, we should be able to completely convert the API to async/await

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Change promise using transaction code to use async/await
  • withTransaction
  • attemptTransaction
  • attemptTransactionCommit
  • abortTransaction
  • endTransaction
• Remove endTransactionAsync (endTransaction will take its place)

Testing Requirements

• Might be interesting to see if there's a measurable difference in performance but it is probably out weighed by actual operations of a transaction. Maybe stubbing the lower layers to just test the JS part of this.
