| ## Note on the synchronous APIs |
| |
| Chrome is currently working with developers to explore the performance |
| implications of using NativeIO as an asynchronous Promise-based API from |
| WebAssembly. |
| |
| In order to assess the performance overhead, a baseline is needed. This baseline |
| is a synchronous API that can be easily used to port existing database code to |
| WebAssembly. The synchronous API is only exposed to dedicated workers. |
| |
| Until our performance studies are concluded, Chrome has no plans of shipping the |
| synchronous API. In other words, there are no plans of adding a new synchronous |
| storage API to the Web Platform. |
