What is the proper way to implement a custom Ktor plugin that runs suspend in the Application? 🤔 It's an integration, so my signature looks something like this fun Application.integration(block: suspend IntegrationPlugin.() -> Unit): ?. ? can be Job, or IntegrationPlugin.

Is the proper way to just use launch { } on the Application? The code running inside should get cancelled on ApplicationStopping anyway.

Arent all kotlin functions suspend by default? I don’t think you need to do anything special here, if I am understanding your use-case.

No, not all Kotlin functions are suspend only those explicitly marked by suspend.

The module function of Ktor is non-suspending, only the route functions are suspending.
