Learn Kotlin Programming

By: Samuel, Bocutiu

Overview of this book

Kotlin is a general-purpose programming language used for developing cross-platform applications. Complete with a comprehensive introduction and projects covering the full set of Kotlin programming features, this book will take you through the fundamentals of Kotlin and get you up to speed in no time. Learn Kotlin Programming covers the installation, tools, and how to write basic programs in Kotlin. You'll learn how to implement object-oriented programming in Kotlin and easily reuse your program or parts of it. The book explains DSL construction, serialization, null safety aspects, and type parameterization to help you build robust apps. You'll learn how to destructure expressions and write your own. You'll then get to grips with building scalable apps by exploring advanced topics such as testing, concurrency, microservices, coroutines, and Kotlin DSL builders. Furthermore, you'll be introduced to the kotlinx.serialization framework, which is used to persist objects in JSON, Protobuf, and other formats. By the end of this book, you'll be well versed with all the new features in Kotlin and will be able to build robust applications skillfully.

Drawbacks

No technology is perfect and using microservices has its own drawbacks. As the saying goes, there are no silver bullets.

Therefore, you can't have transactional updates for your domain models as you usually do when dealing with a monolithic application using one database. Your system will eventually end up being consistent, and that comes with its own bag of challenges.

Implementing a change that will end up touching more than one service has its own complexity. In a monolithic application, these things are quite straightforward. All you have to do is change the modules required and then deploy all of them in one go. But, for a distributed microservices system, where there are dependencies between services, you need to plan the upgrade. You will end up deploying the service that all the other ones depend...
