Ktor Backend Patterns
Provides comprehensive implementation patterns for building robust, modular Kotlin backends using the Ktor framework.
This skill serves as a definitive guide for architecting production-ready Ktor applications, offering standardized patterns for routing DSL, plugin configuration, and dependency injection with Koin. It simplifies complex tasks like implementing JWT authentication, setting up kotlinx.serialization for content negotiation, and configuring global error handling through StatusPages. Whether you are bootstrapping a new REST API or scaling an existing service, these patterns ensure your Kotlin code follows best practices for maintainability, security, and testability within the Ktor ecosystem.
