In Kotlin Flows, if the producer is emitting items faster than the collector can process them, we get into a situation that is known as "Backpressure" or, as the Kotlin Flow documentation calls it "BufferOverflow"
In this video, you will learn how to deal with Backpressure / BufferOverflows by applying
the SUSPEND onBufferOverflow strategy
the DROP_OLDEST onBufferOverflow strategy
the DROP_LATEST onBufferOverflow strategy
