It can be used to build Console Apps, CLIs, Jobs, Database apps, and APIs ( Ktor under the hood ). It is very modular and there are also several libraries / utilities that can also be used on Android.

  Looking at TechEmpower Round 20 for single query, I wonder how many of these are solid for backend. I like jooby - but how stable/supported/active is it? How does it compare to vertx, ktor, or spring in actual production use?
