Using “await” here implies a similar performance bottleneck as when using sync calls.

const fs = require('fs').promises;

async function readFiles() {
  try {
    await fs.readFile('file1.txt');
    await fs.readFile('file2.txt');
    await fs.readFile('file3.txt');
    console.log('Success!');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}
readFiles();
