Kotlin on Client and Server

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Shows a concrete pipeline: a small Kotlin common core with shared entities is compiled into an Android app and a JVM service deployed to Google App Engine using the Gradle App Engine plugin. Uses App Engine + Cloud Endpoints + Datastore via Objectify, Retrofit on both sides, Dagger and Room on Android, and Kotlin coroutines. Demo runs locally with appengine-run, a cron job polls BX every two minutes to sync rates, deployment succeeds after only three changed files; Retrofit proxy and Gradle endpoint quirks required workarounds.
