Mid-January, I held a talk at Kotlin.amsterdam based on my post Migrating from Imperative to Reactive (a Spring Boot application). Because it was a Kotlin meetup, I demoed Kotlin code, and I added a step by migrating the codebase to coroutines. During Q&A, somebody asked whether coroutines implemented backpressure. I admit I was not sure of the answer, so I did a bit of research.
