Hi everyone, has anyone had success using Ktor as a real-time backend for a game? Does that sound like a reasonable undertaking or would things like scaling be too cumbersome to deal with?

depends what your workload is, but in general coroutines are probably going to be a good fit for a streaming type of workload (e.g. websockets perhaps)

so ktor’s embrace of coroutines might interact well with how you want to structure the rest of your system

I’m trying to weigh the advantage of using a Backend as a service offering vs rolling out my own solution

So was wondering if anyone has used ktor &amp; websockets in a production capacity and how they handled scaling etc…
