Asynchronous Programming with Kotlin Coroutines: Designing Scalable, Concurrent, and Non-Blocking Kotlin Applications
Asynchronous Programming with Kotlin Coroutines shows you how to build modern Kotlin applications that stay fast, responsive, and reliable-even under heavy load.
Asynchronous programming is no longer optional for modern applications, but traditional approaches often lead to complex, fragile code. Kotlin coroutines offer a powerful alternative, allowing you to write asynchronous, concurrent, and non-blocking code in a clear and structured way. This book takes you from first principles to production-ready patterns, helping you understand not just how coroutines work, but how they are designed the way they are.
Through carefully explained concepts and realistic examples, you'll learn how to design systems that scale efficiently without sacrificing readability or correctness. The book covers structured concurrency, cancellation, error handling, flows, channels, and real-world use cases across Android and backend applications.
By the end, you'll be able to design coroutine-based systems that are easier to reason about, safer under failure, and optimized for performance-whether you're building mobile apps, backend services, or long-running systems.
