Hello everyone I ve been able to build RESTAPI with Ktor but kotlinlang #server

Hello everyone, I've been able to build RESTAPI with Ktor, but now I'm planning on building a bill payment platform RESTAPI for mobile, thinking if I could still use Ktor for it

Not quite sure if I am getting the question right. What are you trying to build? For the server part, you can just use Ktor. On the mobile site, go with Android. The communication is then via REST.

For easier code sharing you can check out Kotlin Multi Platform for Mobile (KMM)

Which essentially is a multi-module project with a server, mobile and shared module in one git repo

Building a wallet system for bills, transfers, so I should use Ktor for the Server Part

And for the Mobile I can use KMM(Android/iOS)

Looking at scalability for server side

Since Ktor is young

Sure. If it is a combined project, you can put the server-side, Ktor-based server part into the KMM project as well. But this is up to you

I don’t see any issues with it. It all down to you. When you follow good programming practices, it shouldn’t matter what language and framework you use 😉

Start small, test everything and grow incrementally 😉

I've started out the build RESTAPI with Ktor. • User Login and Register • Wallet Balance • Transaction History • Fund Wallet by cards, bank transfer

Currently using Flutterwave

Postgres for Database

I will definitely reach out to you on any issue I'm facing while development
