const mutex = new Mutex();
const resource: any[] = [];

await Promise.all([
  (async () => {
    const res = await fetch("some-api-endpoint/");
    const data = await res.json();

    const release = await mutex.acquire();

    resource.push({ source: "fetch1", data });

    release();
  })(),

  (async () => {
    const res = await fetch("some-api-endpoint/");
    const data = await res.json();

    const release = await mutex.acquire();

    resource.push({ source: "fetch2", data });

    release();
  })()

console.log(resource);
/*
[
  { source: "fetch1", data },
