There is a perception that Kotlin is just for Android development. However, it is the perfect language for creating services using Spring and can be used in serverless platforms like AWS Lambda or Azure Functions.

This session will compare Kotlin, Java, and Typescript languages.

I will take a deep dive into the following language features (functions, classes, collections, and threading) to see how Kotlin feels like a much more modern language than Java and is much like typescript.

Finally, I will provide a demo of how easy it is to create a Spring-based service in Kotlin and how to create lambda functions in Kotlin.
