Hello people, can you give to me examples of big companies that are using Kotlin on the server-side? I need more good examples/use cases to justify why use Kotlin in my company 😉

There's a list on the kotlinlang site
I've also read in articles that Netflix use it for some internal tools

My company uses it for server-side but we're not near what you'd call big 😄
I haven't encountered any information on companies specifically using kotlin for server-side

We use it on hltv.org for any new serverside stuff. According to alexa we are top ~1500 website in the world

+1 for Spring, and also Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/kotlin/
(granted, it's technically community supported, so it may not be a good choice)

At KotlinConf, they mentioned there are large companies using Kotlin BUT Jetbrains isn’t allowed to talk about them as the companies don’t want anything like that to ‘leak’. Not particularly helpful, or could explain lack of big companies appearing on lists.

Indeed, there's actually a similar issue with JavaFX. It's very popular for internal tools, but those don't get publicized, so many people think it's a dead/dying platform.

I can easily be dead/dying even if its used a lot
