+### Introduction
+
+Changelog is a feature that aims to decrease checkpointing time and,
therefore, end-to-end latency in exactly-once mode.
+
+Most commonly, checkpoint duration is affected by:
+
+1. Barrier travel time and alignment, addressed by
+ [Unaligned checkpoints]({{< ref
"docs/ops/state/checkpointing_under_backpressure#unaligned-checkpoints" >}})
+ and [Buffer debloating]({{< ref
"docs/ops/state/checkpointing_under_backpressure#buffer-debloating" >}})
+2. Snapshot creation time (so-called synchronous phase), addressed by
asynchronous snapshots
Review comment:
**Without Changelog:**
Sync phase: flush in-mem data -> disk, prepare what-ssts to upload
**With Changelog:**
Sync phase: prepare state-changes to upload
From the differences above, I can not infer what async snapshots refer to
and can not see what problem the "async snapshots are addressed"? Or if I
misunderstand the above process?
