How do i serve the response first AND THEN only put the response into KV in the "background"? await EDGE_CACHE.put() <- await is "blocking"

I managed to get the “response” saved into kv and retrieve.

how do i serve the response first AND THEN only put the response into KV in the “background”?
Surely await is necessary for .put() right?

         clonedResponse = response.clone()
         await EDGE_CACHE.put("url",jsonValue,{expirationTtl: 86400}) //this is my current problem. How do I let it run in the background? Surely await is necessary
         return new Response(clonedResponse.body, response)

Do this before returning the response:

event.waintUntil(EDGE_CACHE.put(...))
