http4k-connect 3.40.4.0 released with OpenAI API support
http4k-connect is a set of lightweight (zero-reflection) API libraries for connecting to popular third-party cloud services using http4k clients, along with Fake implementations for usage during local testing. It is based around the Connect pattern, which allows you to express client-side adapters in modular and composable way.

Great stack! Just out of interest , any reason you don't use Http4k connect for your AWS needs?

Experienced Java/Kotlin developers: what libraries do you use in your day to day work?
TBH, the official SDK dynamo client library isn't great for either. If you're looking for something lightweight, you could try http4k-connect - the dynamo client API is much nicer, does type-safety by plugging into the http4k lens system, and is zero reflection (using Moshi and generated adapters), which means you can simply cross compile to GraalVM. We're using it for native Kotlin Lambdas using the custom http4k Lambda runtime and it's 🚀🚀🚀. You can also use it backed by the OkHttp client wrapper if you want.

What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
You named Express as an example for a good framework - I'd say both http4k and ktor come close to it. Spring Boot would really be on the other end and I met lots of JS/TS devs that didn't even want to touch it. I did have the same impression than you though: Documentation for ktor is not great at all.

Which backend Frameworks for Web App is easy to learn?
http4k has excellent documentation and very simple concepts.
- Jackson, moshi or kotlinx.serialization?

Application-as-a-Function Thinking
I couple of years ago I was lucky to use http4k, a server as a function web library for Kotlin. It was such a wonderful change compared to every other technologies available in both Java and Kotlin. It's simple.
Testing becomes so much easier too, as one can instantiate a the whole web routing aspect, without having to bind it to a port and having to send real http requests.
If strongly suggest people to take a look at it. It's not perfect, but it's a lot simpler than other frameworks and libraries. And it's a shift in some of the current mentality of using heavy frameworks (such as spring boot) which blow up anyone's cognitive load.
