Hey there! My name is Gunnar, I work for a small analytics company located in Austria and we're using Ktor as backend technology for serving our dashboard applications.

Sounds like an proxy application that runs before the others

Thanks for the reply! Actually, it's a bit more than that. There are shared pages like login/logout, profile page, etc. that live beside the applications. I was just wondering whether it would be possible to build such a composable application in Ktor.

What kind isolation is required? Because the easiest way would be just have 1 Ktor application and compose multiple independent routes

Right now I have a module for each „application“, which sets up the corresponding routes. These modules should be Independent of each other, so they can be loaded from separate JAR files. Right now I have the problem that application features would get installed twice, leading to an error. I was thinking of implementing some sort of custom application engine, which manages an application mounted at a specific route, and delegating the appropriate calls to the nested application, with the URI adjusted accordingly. I‘m somehow lost in the pipeline API, however.

I see, probably it make sense to create an issue about it on ktor issue tracker
