Mobile London with Vadims Savjolovs - Structured concurrency with Kotlin Coroutines

Mobile London with Vadims Savjolovs (Senior Android Product Engineer @ TransferWise)

Structured concurrency with Kotlin Coroutines.

Asynchronous data stream management is hard. Implementing a simple feature requires taking long-running operations off the UI thread, making asynchronous calls to different data sources, combining, mapping, filtering the data and switching back to the UI thread to update the UI. In TransferWise for a long time we used rxJava to solve these problems, but recently we started migrating our Android app to Kotlin Coroutines. Talk covers the basics of Kotlin Coroutines and end-to-end feature development showcase.
