Hey there 👋 Is there any solution by now to forward certain vert.x requests to Ktor? So that Ktor re-uses vert.x’ HTTP server and handles only certain routes.

have ktor routes under different port and proxy vert.x requests to

<http://localhost>:<KTOR_PORT>/<path>

?

That’s my backup plan in case there’s no good solution 😅 Sounds nasty, esp. with websockets involved.

It IS nasty!

I can only use one HTTP port

Why do you need to use both?

I have a larger vert.x Java project that is to be migrated to Kotlin + Ktor over time. So migrated code would use Ktor route while old code would use vert.x route.

What advantages gives Ktor vs Vert.x with Kotlin?

We’re familiar with it.

Why not migrate to Quarkus?

You could just as well ask "why not migrate to micronout". All of them are good in their own way. In the end it boils down to preference and familiarity...

Yup. Back on topic please 😄

You could check the sources of

micronaut-ktor

module, which embeds Ktor inside Micronaut, reusing Micronaut's native http server. https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-kotlin/tree/master/ktor/src/main/kotlin/io/micronaut/ktor

That replaces the existing HTTP server with Ktor instead of just adding Ktor as 2nd level

Quarkus is vert.x underneath which is why I suggested it...
