Spring with Kotlin and coroutines & Introduction to Ktor server-side development

Sourcelabs is hosting another meetup on November 13th 2019, covering all kinds of Kotlin goodness.

Kotlin is gaining a lot of traction in the JVM world, specifically on the server side. That's why we are hosting a meetup covering subjects that will be of use when developing server side applications with Kotlin.

> Spring with Kotlin and Coroutines

Joost de Vries

Kotlin has gone mainstream: The new releases of Spring Boot, Spring Framework and Spring Data are all about Kotlin and Kotlin coroutines. That’s a big vote of confidence from the Spring team!

In this talk we’ll dive into Kotlin coroutines and coroutine Flows: what are they, how do you work with them. And we’ll explore the new Kotlin apis in Spring, what a modern Spring application can look like. In the end we’ll have a Spring application that starts within 2 secs and is ready to deploy with Graal.

About Joost de Vries

For the last 5 years Joost has been getting stuff done using functional reactive programming in Scala and TypeScript. Most recently he has been working using Kotlin in the logistical domain on events first systems that use stream processing. He enjoys keeping up with the computer science of concurrent programming and distributed systems.
When he’s not developing systems he likes to sing and play the saxophone. See also http://the-source.it/

> Introduction to Ktor server-side development

Hadi Hariri
JetBrains

Ktor is an asynchronous web framework built from the the ground up using Kotlin and coroutines. It provides developers the ability to create both server and client applications targeting a variety of platforms including JVM, JavaScript and macOS, Windows and Linux via Kotlin/Native. In this talk we’re going to focus primarily on Ktor as a server application, see how simple it is to create asynchronous and robust server side applications, deployment models, features it provides out of the box, its extensibility model, and how it’s different to some of the other existing solutions on the market.

About Hadi Hariri

Developer and creator of many things OSS, he has been programming in one way, shape or form since the age of 12. Author of various publications and courses, Hadi has been speaking at industry events for nearly two decades. Host to Talking Kotlin, he works at JetBrains leading the Developer Advocacy team, and spends as much time as he can writing code.

> We hope to see you all there!
