In this talk, I’ll show you how to build microservices efficiently using Kotlin and Spring Boot.
We’ll begin by exploring Kotlin as a drop-in replacement for Java and gradually dive into Kotlin-specific features and libraries that significantly enhance development. The focus will be on best practices for combining Kotlin with Spring Data JPA and Hibernate.
We’ll also take a closer look at Kotlin DSLs for Spring Security and Spring Beans as a sleek alternative to annotation-based configurations. Finally, we’ll cover testing strategies in Kotlin using springmockk and strikt. If time permits, we’ll briefly touch on logging and object mapping as well.
