does it work in frontend when used with webpack/browserify

[sagiavinash]

does it work only in node envirnonment or is it universal?

[AndreasMadsen]

only node.

The problem is that you need to be notified about every single async operation that happens in the program. In node we have created (work in progress) such a notification system, called async_wrap, however this does not exists in the browser.

There is a very old issue about adding similar functionality to the browser: https://github.com/nodejs/tracing-wg/issues/9
