Microservices with Kotlin and Ktor

Ktor is a Kotlin framework for creating web servers (and clients).
Unlike other frameworks, Ktor is written entirely in Kotlin and can therefore use language features such as Coroutines, reified Generics and Extension Functions more effectively.
With little overhead, fast results and good performance, Ktor is especially interesting for microservices.
If you are bored with Spring, you will find what you are looking for here. All others learn at least something new.

1. Microservices with Lovis Möller @lovisbrot lovis.moeller@codecentric.de Kotlin and Ktor
2. Microservices — still a thing? https://www.amazon.de/Building-Microservices-Designing-Fine-Grained-Systems/dp/1492034029/
3. It depends.
4. Quickly adapt to changes of a fast-moving market.
5. Quickly adapt to changes of a fast-moving market. Works best with multiple small teams.
6. Quickly adapt to changes of a fast-moving market. Works best with multiple small teams. Not cheap.
7. Ok! Microservices it is. Let’s do it with Kotlin and Ktor.
8. • Consice, Safe, Pragmatic and tool-friendly • Created by JetBrains • Runs on the JVM, multi-platform and native. • 100% interoperable with Java • Open Source Kotlin
9. • Framework for Webservers (and -clients) • Written in Kotlin • Coroutines, Extension functions, internal DSLs • Open Source • https://ktor.io/quickstart/ Ktor
