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.
- 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.

Migrating Netflix to GraphQL Safely
GraphQL queries are just HTTP POST queries with a JSON body. They're supported everywhere.
If you want specialized tooling for them, Kotlin and Swift both have great strongly-typed GraphQL libraries.
Apollo publishes libraries for both:

How to build a Snowflake API?
An example of a Snowflake API request using Java. This example uses Java’s built-in HttpClient and constructs JSON manually, so it doesn’t require additional dependencies; however, in production, you should use a library like Jackson for constructing JSON. Additionally, for stronger typing, you could use Apollo’s Kotlin-based GraphQL client.

Flutter vs Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (not a holywar)
- found Flutter graphql is way ahead , even almost mature as Apollo for JS. apollo-kotlin is several miles behind, a lot of issues, absolutely inconvenient usage after graphql-flutter

Any good java graphql client suggestions ?
Hi 👋Martin from https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-android here. Can you ellaborate more on "created schema files are not serialized" ? For Android app, I usually recommend separating the persistence layer and the network models so that they're not coupled. But maybe it's different from a microservice?
What are some alternatives?
