A lot of modern Java libraries have fully asynchronous APIs which use Java NIO/Netty to execute I/O and don't block a thread.
In frameworks like Node.js async I/O is the norm.

AWS has a native async API in their v2 SDK built on Netty.
For heavy I/O workloads, using an async API can improve throughput tremendously, by not blocking threads.

Please note however, that delegating API calls to another thread and continuing the work on the current thread is not asynchronous, since the other thread is blocked. I'm talking about fully asynchronous here.
