does kotlin coroutine suit for fire and forget scenario, for example, I want to fire 1000 network request in 5 minutes, something like viewModelScope.launch{} but don’t care about the result. When a coroutine is finished, does it goes away or it stays in memory?

[Dominaezzz]

It goes away.

viewModelScope is not good for that - it could be canceled

[gildor]

Depends on required lifecycle of those requests. Launch and forget doesn't mean that request doesn't have lifecycle and may be cancelled

[Tuan Kiet]

It has the lifecycle equal to Application’s lifecycle. And I will create my own coroutine scope for that

[gildor]

GlobalScope is also fine for this

Tho, we have UserScope which cancelled if app user is unauthorized
