Developing Micro Services With Kotlin

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Kotlin runs in production at a startup for 1.5 years with 100,000 lines of Kotlin and only 5k lines of Java, maintained by nine backend engineers who ship 8 microservices and 12 lambda functions; tooling includes Dropwizard (considered for replacement), Mockito-Kotlin, Jackson Kotlin module and Logz.io for request-duration logging. Kotlin’s null-safety, extension functions, delegated properties and reified generics speed development, upgrades from 1.0.x to 1.1.51 are smooth, and there are no Kotlin-driven crashes reported.
