#ktor is the most popular "pure" kotlin framework, but #spring is probably a lot bigger

Thanks for ktor through i will look at it

And another option would be https://vertx.io It is reactive and polyglot by design

Hey, is anybody here using MySQL X DevAPI?

set the channel topic: Web Backends, Kotlin interop with Java web frameworks, DSLs and anything running on a server See also: #ktor and #spring

Anybody tried that with Kotlin: https://quarkus.io ?

oh they have a kotlin section: https://quarkus.io/guides/kotlin

What is your preferred framework to writing tests and why?

We have projects using plain junit5 and projects using kotlintest. The first is very flexible alone with testfactories, extensions and testng-like setup/test instance lifecycle. I am very satisfied how our partly very complex tests look like, combined with just kotlin code to hide some boilerplate. It's also very nice for people that aren't too comfortable with extensive kotlin dsls. the latter allows for some nice to read tests with the right balance between nice and crazy that are not tied to junit structures. To be honest, we already ran into some problems with kotlintest/dsls for example when you want to abstract a little bit and use own extension functions, so i would recommend junit5 and assertj or sth similar. Grain of salt and so in, we have some java oriented people and so on.

We use JUnit, Kluent and Mockk. Works great.

otherwise, I might opt for using resilience4j in this case which implements the bulkhead pattern (I have no specific need to really use coroutines)

spring should automatically serve up static resources

see: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-spring-mvc-static-content

Thanks for the quick reaply 🙂 . I will check it out.

Good day today. The KMP project we have been working on for the annual CodeWeek event is a finalist! 250 teams competing, we are one of the top 25 going into the finals in January. WatchOS KTOR client made it just in the nick of time! Still needs polishing and a good amount of refactoring, but I think the main point proven - we share logic and networking across multiple targets (and planning to add more) https://github.com/dmitrish/kinsight-multiplatform

Query for getting 3rd highest salaray from salray column, table having id and salary columns ?

Hi, I'm new to Kotlin and Ktor and i'd like this basic function to run but I can't find where the issue is:

package com.example

import io.ktor.server.engine.embeddedServer
import io.ktor.server.netty.Netty
import io.ktor.routing.*

fun main() {
    embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080){ }.start()
    routing {
        get("/") {
            call.respondText("Hello, world!", ContentType.Text.Html)
        }
    }
}

The issue i'm getting is, the routing package cannot be imported. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

try #ktor

What kind of projects?

frontend? backend? SRE? DS? Testing?

Anyone running high throughput [ 1k+ / sec ] kotlin backend services?

@Harun Artın i developed a quiz application and used mongodb and websockets, you have a free database online https://mlab.com/

What library can I use for running Kotlin server app compiler for node.js?

do I need to upgrade to ktor 1.3.x perhaps

I moved it to #ktor Hi, Could anyone help me connect ktor routing and apache kafka? I'm trying to learn kafka by implementing it in my client facing rest api microservice. I was stopped when i tried to merge kafka subscriber design and ktor event driven approach. I managed to successfully send some strings to kafka and made my consumer read them, but i have no idea how in a stateless fashion my kafka consumer/subscriber is supposed to know to who send the http response. When i tried to send ApplicationCall through kafka jackson crashed in an infinite recursion. The only idea i have is to somehow put all the data i need from ApplicationCall into a new value object which i can send through kafka and then use it to create a response, but i don't know how to do it using ktor and it seems too overengineered, there has to be a better way.

Is there a recommended way to handle request load for a Ktor REST API?

i do like kotlin.

There's a #ktor channel FYI

Any hints would be very appreciated.

Has anyone achieved to somehow override the pipeline merge function so I can kick out interceptors/phases? I've implemented a RateLimit Feature, which I can wrap around routes like "authenticated". What I want to achieve though is that only the last interceptor is active. Like rateLimit(5000) { rateLimit(100) { get("/") { ... } } }. There, only the rateLimit(100) should be active.
