Jesper, a single channel works if I provision it with big enough capacity (1000), but this feels like an antipattern which can break. Still, this is probably the most practical option.
Brian, thanks for sharing, yes this pattern solves my problem much simpler than I have. Although it doesn't feel right that achieving something that feels like basic concurrent programming turns into Koan solving.
