Hi, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the difference between suspendedTransactionAsync and suspendedTransaction . As I understand suspendedTransaction simply runs the blocking code on a separate thread whereas the former is actually non-blocking and we will await for the operation to complete.
If exposed uses JDBC API under the hood, I don't quite understands how this works in practice.

I think suspendedTransactionAsync is a design fluke and you should not use it. If a library function is asynchronous it should be suspending, not return a deferred.

that is, suspended transaction is all you need.

suspendedTransaction { ... }

if you want true parallel logic you should tailor it to your actual needs, don't use suspendedTransactionAsync

coroutineScope {
  async { suspendedTransaction { ... } }
  async { suspendedTransaction { ... } }
}
