Hi everyone, I had a question regarding `suspend functions` vs `Flows`.  Assuming I follow a Clean architecture approach for my application, when should i be using `suspend functions` and when should I use `Flows`?
Assuming I am only ever handling cold streams of data, when should I use one over the other?
Should the presentation layer only be exposed to `Flows` and `suspend functions` be used by data and domain layers? Should the `suspend functions` just be used for “one-off” type functions that need to be done on a separate thread?

clean architecture doesn't have anything to do with `suspend fun` or `flow`. use what you need. if you need stream of data and need to transform that data use `flow` if not use `suspend fun`

don't use `flow` to complicate code when `suspend fun` will do
