  async def mycoroutine():
      await operationA()

The goal of this article was to lay the concepts and give insight into the technical machinery, so you’re right, it didn’t contain a lot of concrete examples.

I invite you to check out part 2 of this series, which focuses more on the Python implementation https://stealthrocket.tech/blog/distributed-coroutines-in-py...

Stay tuned for more content as well, we couldn’t fit everything in one post!
