http4k -> Toolkit for serving and consuming HTTP services in a functional and consistent way.
ktor -> Web backend framework for Kotlin. Easy to use, fun and asynchronous.
Use Ktor (http://ktor.io/) for all projects.

Because of this symmetry, you can plug one into the other, which is really powerful - for example a unit test for a server endpoint can be reused as a test to a remote server by just switching out the HttpHandler with an HTTP client.
