During https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-DBpox3hzHR3qosXKtaJhe0KnPHWXU5X1_1tH0nZSHA/ development, we noticed that AsyncLocalStorage isn't supported by the driver and we have an issue with async contexts being tracked. This item is to research the current state of AsyncLocalStorage in the driver and figure out what we need to change to get correct async context tracking.
