KotlinConf 2019: Migrating a Library from RxJava To Coroutines by Mike Nakhimovich & Yiğit Boyar

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
Few years ago I open sourced a library called Store. It was an implementation of the repository pattern exposed through rxjava observable interfaces. Fast forward to today and store has 3500+ stars, 20+ contributors. Today I'll be talking about a clean rewrite of Store in kotlin particularly dropping #RxJava for #Coroutines. I'll go over converting tests, finding similar apis and all the lessons learned from forcing users to switch to kotlin.
