Hello everyone. I have heard that JetBrains Youtrack is based on ktor. Does anyone have a source for that? Is this official? I could help greatly promoting ktor for our client’s projects.
Thank you!

I doubt it, YouTrack is older than Kotlin.
Space is made with Kotlin, Ktor, and Kotlin React, they made a Talking Kotlin episode about it

@CLOVIS Thank you!
Do you have a source for Space? Can you give me a link?
Do keep in mind that it's a bit out of date. It was more than two years ago, and Kotlin Multiplatform moves very fast—especially for them, who started before it was even public. A lot of the issues they encountered have been fixed since then.
Especially with regards to the IDE integration

Will do
I was able to confirm on KotlinConf that YouTrack is not based on ktor but space is.
Sounds to me like a pretty good reference and proof of stability …

Personally I've been using Ktor in production for almost two years now, and I'm amazed how stable and performant it is. So far, we haven't needed to do a single maintenance operation on it in production.
