There are two promises in the example above; the promise created by <code>Promise.resolve()</code> and the promise returned by the call to <code>then()</code>. In the example above, the first promise got the <code>asyncId</code> <code>6</code> and the latter got <code>asyncId</code> <code>7</code>. During the execution of the <code>then()</code> callback, we are executing in the context of promise with <code>asyncId</code> <code>7</code>. This promise was triggered by async resource <code>6</code>.</p> <p>Another subtlety with promises is that <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> callbacks are run only on chained promises. That means promises not created by <code>then()</code>/<code>catch()</code> will not have the <code>before</code> and <code>after</code> callbacks fired on them.
