I am new to kotlin, our team is thinking of utilizing kotlin for writing one of the service for our project. Is Ktor a good framework to go with or there are any better alternatives? This is just for a specific feature (1 or 2 endpoints) will talk to dynamodb to update/read json file.

“good” and “better” are subjective
it depends on many factors
you might want to use this opportunity as a learning experience for example
for your next projects

If they’re already familiar with the jvm and using an existing framework, it might make sense to use that existing framework in kotlin

One key factor to take into account when selecting a web lib/toolkit/framework is the level of Kotlin support. For example are there Kotlin specific docs, is there a Kotlin API, is there Kotlin tooling available ...
