If I read the comment right (a big if, I'm terrible at interpreting sentences that end in the middle with storm of dots and an implication), then he/she is implying that obviously we never considered running code asynchronously.

If so, this implication was inaccurate.

I’m not saying that it wasn’t considered, I just don’t know that a one time code audit offers sufficient downtime protection for me. If you’re worried about an external service being in the critical path then taking it out of the critical path seems like the only foolproof approach.
