Is anyone running a fully native Kotlin server yet?
If so then where and what's the experience (performance, stability, ease of development & deployment)?

[Big Chungus]

What do you mean by server? As in backend API of some sorts (think REST or SOAP)?

[olonho]

this server instance https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinconf-spinner/blob/master/httpserver/src/hostMain/kotlin/server/HttpServer.kt is running for couple years on AWS instance without problems

This line import platform.posix.* makes it obvious that the server program is native 😉 .

[napperley]

Is the kjson library (used in the program) the Kotlin Native equivalent to Jackson ( https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson )?

[napperley]

Can't find the kjson library anywhere via google. Is there a website for the library?

[Big Chungus]

It's just another module in the same repo. Have a look at the build.gradle dependencies.

kjson is a simple Kotlin wrapper for jansson (c lib for Json)

Now for Json make sense to use kotlinx.serialization

Thanks @olonho!

@Big Chungus yes, http server. But non-http for background processing is also interesting :)
