Does anyone worked on ktor with AWS lambda, if so can you share a GitHub repo.

what is your use case specifically? Using a ktor client inside a lamda?

Actually I was trying to write Rest APIs for my website. It was first time with backend development.

Kotless is a JB tool for serverless Kotlin development. It does the hard work of AWS Lambda deployment and you can just write your ktor app mostly as normal https://github.com/JetBrains/kotless

Can recommend kotless if you want to write ktor-like stuff to host your API in AWS

You can also try http4k (havn't try but in their documentation they talk about) https://www.http4k.org/guide/modules/serverless/

Or if you would like to stick to Ktor, then deploy it to EC2 or Fargate 🙂 In some cases that could even be cheaper, depending on your traffic and response times.

Those are new names, I'll give a try for sure, thanks. Do you have some suggests for database integration

@Siva Ganesh one use case for Lambda is "serverless" applications, which as the name says does not need a server like ktor (and other people named nice solutions to achieve your goals with other frameworks). In these setups, your lambdas are not running, and they are triggered by something (in this case Api Gateway which handles routing etc.), for these triggers they "wake up or spawn" and handle your request and they "die/go back to sleep . They are designed to have a short lifespan (as short as possible from the perspective of bills 😄 ) Ktor server is something that usually you want to have running all the time listening for requests and handle them, you dont need Api Gateway because the routes are defined in ktor. You need some computer or virtual machine to be running all the time to host this application, cloud providers have solutions for this use case. In AWS Lightsail, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, ECS (with EC2 or Fargate) are solutions for this. https://aws.amazon.com/websites/?nc2=h_ql_sol_use_web

For Serverless database you can also use [FaunaDB](https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/drivers/jvm) they have a java Driver that is quite functional.
