Overview of this book

Using Kotlin without taking advantage of its power and interoperability is like owning a sports car and never taking it out of the garage. While documentation and introductory resources can help you learn the basics of Kotlin, the fact that it’s a new language means that there are limited learning resources and code bases available in comparison to Java and other established languages. This Kotlin book will show you how to leverage software designs and concepts that have made Java the most dominant enterprise programming language. You’ll understand how Kotlin is a modern approach to object-oriented programming (OOP). This book will take you through the vast array of features that Kotlin provides over other languages. These features include seamless interoperability with Java, efficient syntax, built-in functional programming constructs, and support for creating your own DSL. Finally, you will gain an understanding of implementing practical design patterns and best practices to help you master the Kotlin language. By the end of the book, you'll have obtained an advanced understanding of Kotlin in order to be able to build production-grade applications.

Taming the Monolith with Microservices

Kotlin isn't limited to client-side applications and, in this chapter, we will examine the use of Kotlin on the backend. We'll explore the concept of a microservices architecture and how it can help build scalable and maintainable applications. We'll see how Kotlin fits in to that microservices architecture and ecosystem, illustrating where you will be able to apply existing Kotlin knowledge to the development of backend services. And finally, we'll learn how to start using Kotlin to write our own microservices by building our own simple microservice using Ktor, a Kotlin-based framework for building both server- and client-side code.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Understanding microservices
  • Writing microservices with Kotlin
  • Deploying your first Kotlin microservice
