# Debounce

🚀 Debouncing is a strategy that lets us improve performance by waiting until a certain amount of time has passed before triggering an event. When the user stops triggering the event, our code will run.\

🚀 In some cases, this isn't necessary. But, if any network requests are involved, or if the DOM changes (eg. re-rendering a component), this technique can drastically improve the smoothness of your application.\
