Calling web3.eth.getAccounts() does nothing - no errors

Question

I am trying to get all accounts using web3@1.3.3 and @truffle/hdwallet-provider@1.2.2. I am using HDWalletProvider with Infura. I am running this code on backend (Node.js v14.15.5). This is the code that I have currently:

const HDWalletProvider = require('@truffle/hdwallet-provider');
const Web3 = require('web3');

const provider = new HDWalletProvider({
  mnemonic: {
    phrase: '... 12 words ...'
  },
  providerOrUrl: 'https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/PROJECT_ID'
});

const web3 = new Web3(provider.engine);

const deploy = async (contractName) => {
  try {
    console.log('checkpoint 1');
    web3.eth.getAccounts().then(function(e) {
      console.log('checkpoint 2');
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
      console.log('checkpoint 3');
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('Checkpoint 4');
  }
};

deploy('myContract');

When I run the code, the only thing printed into console is checkpoint 1. There is no error or exception, no indication that something wrong. Can somebody give me a hint what I am doing wrong? Why is getAccounts not working?

EDIT

I also tried the following code (as per smarteasy suggestion), but it doesn't work either. It only prints checkpoint 1:

const deploy = async (contractName) => {
  try {
    console.log('checkpoint 1');
    const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
    console.log('checkpoint 2');
  } catch (err) {
    console.log('checkpoint 3');
  }
};

It's declared as async, so use await. const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
