You are probably talking about suspend functions
Flow represents a stream of events (from 0 to infinity)
Suspend function and coroutines builders like runBlocking and launch is one time event and work as any other function
So suspend functions work perfectly as API for asynchronous requests (like network, DB etc) and Flow perfect for listening events (notifications, events from user other service etc)
