Hi all, I try to implement an async request to a ktor-Server which shall respond directly and then start the async task. It is possible to do it like:

put<MyRoute> {
        call.respond(HttpStatusCode.OK)
        MyService.runTask()
    }

This returns the response directly and the synchronous task seems to run until the end. Does every call already run in a separated thread or do I have to start a new thread for the runTask()?

You have a separate coroutine running for every request

okay, so it would work but it's not the way I should use it, right?

right, because it is tied to the request and it will not complete until the coroutine is running

Okay, thank you very much. 👍
