KotlinConf 2019: Asynchronous Data Streams with Kotlin Flow by Roman Elizarov

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
Kotlin Flow is a declarative mechanism for working with asynchronous data streams that builds on top of Kotlin coroutines and structured concurrency. Kotlin Flows are doing the same revolution in simplicity for data streams that suspending functions did for data values.

In this talk we will discuss the challenges of working with asynchronous streams and how Kotlin Flows solve them. We will study the basics of Kotlin Flow design, see their typical usage patterns, peek behind the scenes and into some of the implementation details, checkout flow performance and see how they enable writing safe, reliable, and leak-free systems. We will also discuss how they relate to and incorporate ideas from reactive extensions and reactive streams, how they are similar and different, and how they can be used together.
