Yes, that sounds very similar indeed. We've launched Dispatch because this is a universal problem that engineering teams end up having to reinvent over and over.

Dispatch can also handle the "one-off" jobs you describe, where you don't need to track the coroutine state. In a way, it's a subset/special case of the distributed coroutine (just like functions are a special case of coroutines with no yield point).
