What does `after()` in a Route Handler give you compared to `await logEvent()` before responding?

✓Correct answer: The response is sent immediately, and logging runs afterwards
2after runs code before the server even receives the request
3after guarantees that logging is transactional with the response

Explanation

The user doesn't have to wait for analytics, logs or syncing with third-party services. The platform keeps the function alive until the after callbacks finish. Inside, you can read cookies() and headers() in Server Actions and Route Handlers.
