We are building async client libraries based on kotlinx.io, @Deactivated User’s extensive work on various clients (https://github.com/soywiz/ktor-cio-clients) and coroutines. It’s not there yet, but we have some Redis client sources here https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-client-redis
Next coming is PostgreSQL, then MySQL and such. We are planning to integrate this work into #squash as an experiment and then see how it works.

hmm, here should be some codereview 🙂 https://github.com/soywiz/ktor-cio-clients/blob/master/ktor-client-cio-mysql/src/io/ktor/experimental/client/mysql/Mysql.kt#L61

These are prototypes done in few days by Carlos, just a POC. Before we make it really usable there will be a rewrite with new CIO (coroutines IO) primitives, code review, tests, all that is needed.

Since you mentioned PostgreSQL, I'll mention my project to build a Kotlin MPP PostgreSQL client based all on coroutines. Haven't gotten back to it for a while but I was getting some ridiculous performance numbers. https://github.com/bnorm/PgKotlin

I had previously used @Deactivated User ’s coroutine I/O client for Postgres, added support for MD5 authentication, etc. I really like the performance that I got and hope to see it usable in production soon.

I am a total noob to Kotlin and didn’t have the courage to contribute back my changes for MD5 auth.

The md5 auth already implemented, but not merged yet :)
