i really like your article. nice Job.
i start learning Ktor through your article.
But if you do not mind, i would like to ask if for these series articles, how can integrate the database section? Instead of saving the user in memory, i want to save them in Db. Same for the Token section.
Do you have something which can help me continue on your series articles?
Thanks.

Hey Hey Hey Andrew!

Although I don’t have any experience with Javalin, Ktor seems to be better maintained and with a slightly bigger community.

When we take a look at the releases https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/releases , we will see that it is maintained and even 3.0 version is about to come.

If you are looking for something lightweight, something that is written with Kotlin in mind, something that does not bring tons of magic under the hood (like Spring Boot), thus requiring more knowledge of its internals, then Ktor can be a good choice.

Ktor seems like a good library as an alternative to heavy-weight frameworks like Spring. We are using Javalin, but Ktor seems more powerful. In Javalin, there isn’t much pre-prepared integration/tooling. Everything must be written by my own. How are you satisfied with Ktor? Is it developed seriously or it has delays with delivery of new versions as Jetbrains does in its non-popular projects?
