Hello everyone, I am well versed in Android development. Now I want to get started with server side development. Which framework should I pick up. There are lots... Spring, ktor, node.js etc? How do I proceed like first what should I do and then which next steps should I follow in order to get started with the backend. Thanks in advance.

If you can do with something like Hasura, you may not need much backend programming at all! That said, I prefer KTor as Spring's not very Kotlin-esque and I prefer Kotlin-esque code.

Maybe this video would help 😅

You could also try https://quarkus.io. Very good documentation, good Kotlin support and very easy to get started.

hopefully i am not mistaken using ktor for api on my mobile app 😄
