Hey
are there any known projects that use ktor on a larger scale one can consult for some reference?

[Jeff Hudson]

I assume you're asking about open source projects,

But my company highbeam.co uses Ktor for our production APIs as well as for our LLM microservice. We use Kairo which sits on top of Ktor to make things a bit more opinionated/structured and add some pieces that Ktor doesn't offer.

It's probably not as helpful as an open source project since you can't look through the code, but I'm happy to answer any questions, since I think we're one of the bigger production Ktor startups out there.

@Jeff Hudson really nice wrapper you have and awesome structure, I use something similar (but not that much spread out as yours)

If you don't mind me asking

kairo-clock-feature: The Clock Feature allows for configuration and injection of a Java Clock.

Why did you decide for Java clock instead of Kotlinx date time?

[Jeff Hudson]

Yeah great question!

First of all, the Kairo modules are all independent, so if you wanted to use something from it you're not tied to the Java Clock unless you specifically wanted to use kairo-clock-feature

Although we only recently open sourced Kairo, it was started in 2019 and has been in use since 2020. I don't think Kotlin's Clock came out until later in 2020, and we just never bothered to switch it over since the Java one works fine.

If there's some benefit to swapping over to Kotlin's Clock I'd definitely look into doing so!
