Question: What is a promise?
A promise is an abstraction for asynchronous programming.
It's an object that proxies for the return value thrown by a function that has to do some asynchronous processing.


Question: How does promise work?
The Promise constructor takes a function (an executor) that will be executed immediately and passes in two functions: resolve , which must be called when the Promise is resolved (passing a result), and reject , when it is rejected (passing an error)


Question: Give example of promise work in mongoose?
User.update({id: 100}, {$inc: { views: 1 }}).limit(1).exec();
Here execute multiple function in one line is promise.
