+# Async Sample
+
+This example illustrates how you can run async operations within your WebAssembly module leveraging the `run` function provided by the `spin-executor` crate.
+
+The sample app wraps async code (an outbound HTTP request) as shown below:
+
+
+```rust
+spin_executor::run(async move {
+  // async code goes here
+})
+```
+
+Upon running the Spin App (using `spin up`) it will send an HTTP request to `https://myip.fermyon.app` and print your public IP address to `stdout`.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You need to have the following installed on your machine:
+
+- Latest `spin` CLI
+  - The `command` trigger plugin
+- Rust must be installed on your machine and the `wasm32-wasi` target
+  - `cargo-component`
+
+
+## Compiling and running the sample
+
+The Spin Manifest contains necessary commands for building and running this app. Allowing you to simply use the `spin` CLI:
+
+```bash
+# Compile the App
+spin build
+
+# Run the App
+spin up
+```
+
