If only that was an option 🙂

@hawkkroeger You might look into Vert.x, it's supposed to have async db access and even http client, and 3.5 has basic Coroutine support. You don't have to use the framework, you can still use ktor, and just use pieces of Vert.x you need...

Thanks for the info, I've played with Vertx before, not a bad system. As for docker we use it for our development services, I've entertained the thought of doing some ECS work in AWS. But I've had really good success with AWS's elb/alb, asg,ec2 platform. One of the best offerings aws has imo.
