    @StephanEwen I updated the code and used `ExecutionContext.global` which 
makes use of threadpool. 
    
    I tested it and results showed that the code sent off multiple requests 
concurrently (parallelism = 1). 
    
    Bellow result shows that waiting time was overlaying with sending other 
requests and receiving responses
    Output format: `(Quote Number, {Quote API response})` which `Quote Number` 
was sequential input.

    Bellow result is when I called the external api within streaming API which 
shows the call is blocked until request got resolved
