Here is another thread that might help @beto:

Supervising async tasks

I need to: do some asynchronous work concurrently kill the work when the parent GenServer exits be able to specify the timeout do some bookkeeping when the work succeeds do some other bookkeeping when the work fails Is the Task.Supervisor the right tool for the job? I’m thinking of writing a GenServer that would use Task.Supervisor.async_nolink to start Tasks, specifying the :shutdown option and handling the {ref, result} and :DOWN messages. But how do I make sure that the tasks are immedia…

Best regards,
