Two years ago, they made the bold move to split their existing legacy Python monolith into multiple backend services, which they developed in Kotlin. This upgrade resulted in tremendous improvements: Better software performance. Сleaner code. Easier code reviews. Another great thing about Kotlin is that people coming from Java, Golang, and Python find it really easy to get started. Kotlin is an excellent choice for server-side appl

It is quite common to use existing frameworks and libraries for backend application development. If we look at most of the popular frameworks in the Java ecosystem, many of them actually support Kotlin out of the box. There are a lot of Java libraries too. You can use these frameworks and libraries in your Kotlin programs thanks to Kotlin’s flawless Java interoperability. Kotlin is an excellent choice for server-side application development.

Kotlin was created as an alternative to Java, meaning that its application area within the JVM ecosystem was meant to be the same as Java’s. Obviously, this includes server-side development. We would love to hear about your experience with Kotlin for developing server-side applications and share your experience with the community! Tell us your story! Kotlin has experienced immense growth in the Android ecosystem in recent years. The adoption of Kotlin for server-side development is growing steadily as well. However, the question we often get from companies considering adopting Kotlin for
