+## 2. Async Operations & Waterfalls (CRITICAL)
+
+### Eliminate Sequential Data Fetching
+
+```typescript
+// WRONG - Nested subscriptions create waterfalls
+this.route.params.subscribe((params) => {
+  // 1. Wait for params
+  this.userService.getUser(params.id).subscribe((user) => {
+    // 2. Wait for user
+    this.postsService.getPosts(user.id).subscribe((posts) => {
+      // 3. Wait for posts
+    });
+  });
+});
+
+// CORRECT - Parallel execution with forkJoin
+forkJoin({
+  user: this.userService.getUser(id),
+  posts: this.postsService.getPosts(id),
+}).subscribe((data) => {
+  // Fetched in parallel
+});
+
+// CORRECT - Flatten dependent calls with switchMap
+this.route.params
+  .pipe(
+    map((p) => p.id),
+    switchMap((id) => this.userService.getUser(id)),
+  )
+  .subscribe();
+```
+
+### Avoid Client-Side Waterfalls in SSR
+
+```typescript
+// CORRECT - Use resolvers or blocking hydration for critical data
+export const route: Route = {
+  path: "profile/:id",
+  resolve: { data: profileResolver }, // Fetched on server before navigation
+  component: ProfileComponent,
+};
+
+// WRONG - Component fetches data on init
+class ProfileComponent implements OnInit {
+  ngOnInit() {
+    // Starts ONLY after JS loads and component renders
+    this.http.get("/api/profile").subscribe();
+  }
+}
