http4k-connect VS sagan

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?

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.

If you want to do web apps, I'd recommend Django (a python framework) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/, but you can do Rails, or Phoenix, or Spring Boot, or whatever. It doesn't terribly matter *which* one you do, as they share characteristics, and, chances are, your company will be using a different one :). Just pick one and go. You can do it. You know a lot more than you think.

With the idea planted, and already internalized that I would use spring-boot to create our API, I needed to decide on which engine it would be built. I had been studying Unreal Engine for some time, but because I had more know-how in Unity and because I found this AMAZING weather system, I opted for our last alternative.

This is an introduction article on how to build a RESTful application in Kotlin using Spring Boot 3 and MongoDB Atlas.

As said in the title, we will focus on the dependency inversion principle and one of its application : dependency injection. For production-ready applications, it would be better to rely on a framework and not implement its own container. For it, the java ecosystem have 3 frameworks available : Spring, Guice and Dagger.

Im stuck between just starting up a project, or if following some starter project for learning. I did a tutorial on the spring.io website, but thats about all I have done so far.

I've been following the guides at spring.io, but there's just so many guides there. My company has a template for starting new projects (includes frontend + backend + database) so I decided to start my project using it, thinking the basic guides I followed on REST APIs would help me but I quickly realized it's more complicated than I thought.

Thanks for the advice. I followed some guides on spring.io, but because I am using a template for starting new projects provided by my company, I found most of them couldn't really translate properly to the template.

Spring makes building web applications fast and hassle-free (spring.io). By removing much of the boilerplate code and configuration associated with web development, you get a modern web programming model that streamlines the development of server-side HTML applications, REST APIs, and bidirectional, event-based systems.
