class FOnlineAsyncTaskManager :

Remarks

The foundation of all async operations in every online subsystem

A task manager ticks on its own thread, managing both a serial and parallel queue of FOnlineAsyncTasks Each task works through the serial queue in the following manner GameThread

Parallel task queue works in a similar flow, except the tasks don't wait for any previous tasks to complete
