Hi all, what's the best approach for a long-running coroutine with multiple "receivers" ... let's say I have a coroutine which calculates some complex value or fetches something via network. I have multiple locations that might call this coroutine. But instead of starting this coroutine n times it should only run once an deliver the value to all receivers. Is a ConflatedBroadcastChannel here the best architectural choice? So putting the value into the channel so that everyone can take it when needed?

try broadcast builder, it’s builtin coroutine + channel

if you only have a single value, you could use a CompletableDeferred

Thank you guys. The value might be updated multiple times so I will have a look at broadcast. However I will keep CompletableDeferred in mind for possible future needs 🙂
