You should take a look at the documentation here: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/coroutines-guide.md

Meanwhile, looking at your code, you shouldn't be using the blocking sleep. There is a suspending delay that won't block

[kingsley]

Also, you seem to be blocking the initial thread and returning your List<Message> anyway. That isn't taking advantage of the coroutine's suspending functionality

restTemplate.getForObject is also a blocking call.
