Promises Vs Observables: Key Differences In JavaScript

Promises handle single async ops, while Observables handle multiple async events as a stream of values. Promises are eager & can't be canceled, while Observables are lazy & multicast. Choose wisely!

Promises and observables are both mechanisms for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript, but they have some differences in terms of functionality and behavior.
