# ColdBoxAsyncProvider

{% hint style="danger" %}
This provider is not **durable**.

(Pending jobs are not persisted and may be lost if there are server issues between dispatching the job and working the job.)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
This provider **does not support multiple queues**.

(Only a single queue can be provided to a Worker Pool instance. Additional queues to be worked should be registered as separate Worker Pool instances.)
{% endhint %}

The ColdBoxAsyncProvider runs any jobs dispatched on a background thread using ColdBox's AsyncManager.  Jobs will be worked by the same server that dispatched them.  The number of workers specified translates to the number of threads dedicated to working the jobs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cbq.ortusbooks.com/configuration/providers/coldboxasyncprovider.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
