    for injection, I suggest Koin (https://insert-koin.io/)

  • kotlinx.serialization

  • Armeria

    Your go-to microservice framework for any situation, from the creator of Netty et al. You can build any type of microservice leveraging your favorite technologies, including gRPC, Thrift, Kotlin, Retrofit, Reactive Streams, Spring Boot and Dropwizard.

    Check out Armeria, it's a newer framework from the creator of Netty for micro services and comes with many builtin functionalities for service discovery, logging and fault tolerance. It's getting a lot of adoption from companies like Slack, Doordash, Afterpay and Databricks too. It kind of reminds me of Finagle from the Scala ecosystem in that it supports many different protocols (gRPC, thrift and HTTP).
