Hello everyone. Any ideas on how to implement microservices with ktor? I am specifically looking for information on the general architecture and how the services communicate with each other.
Looking to have the following implemented:
• API gateway
• Logging
• Dashboard e.t.c

a couple of good general articles:
• https://piotrminkowski.com/2018/10/09/kotlin-microservices-with-ktor/
• https://www.infoq.com/articles/microservices-kotlin-ktor/ (there’s a section about structuring applications)
Also about structure:
• https://ktor.io/docs/modules.html
• https://ktor.io/docs/structuring-applications.html
Logging: https://ktor.io/docs/logging.html

API gateway: I suggest you do not implement it by yourself, either use an OSS solution like Kong or a service like AWS Gateway

Dashboard: I’m not sure if you need a dashboard to observe service metrics, but that doesn’t depend too much on the technology used (ktor), just use something general like graphite+grafana, prometheus+grafana, etc.
