Description

In this course, you will learn how to use Micronaut and Kotlin to create fast, lightweight and reactive web applications. Micronaut is a modern framework for building microservices and serverless applications with Kotlin. It offers compile-time dependency injection, AOP, configuration management, HTTP client and server, and GraalVM support. Kotlin is a concise and expressive language that runs on the JVM and can interoperate with Java. It offers many features that make web development easier and more enjoyable, such as null safety, data classes, coroutines, extension functions, and DSLs.You will explore the main features and benefits of Micronaut and Kotlin through a series of hands-on exercises. You will learn how to create REST APIs with Micronaut and test your applications with Micronaut Test and JUnit 5. You will also learn how to use Micronaut Data to interact with relational (E.g. MySQL/Postgres) and non-relational (E.g., MongoDB) databases. This course is suitable for developers who have some basic knowledge of Kotlin and web development, as well as those who want to explore new frameworks and tools. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of how to use Micronaut and Kotlin to create scalable and resilient web applications.
