In the previous articles of this series, we built a solid foundation: from setting up a gRPC service in Kotlin, to mastering schema design, and writing idiomatic, expressive code with Protobuf and Kotlin DSLs. Now, we’re ready to go beyond the basics into features that power real-time, reactive, and resilient Read more…
In the first two articles of this series, we built our first gRPC service in Kotlin and explored the essentials of Protobuf schema design from optional and repeated fields to enums, oneof, maps, and how to evolve your schema safely. In this article, we’ll level up again and explore how Read more…
In the previous (first) article of this series, we introduced gRPC and Protocol Buffers by building a minimal Kotlin gRPC service: a simple NoteService that allowed creating and retrieving notes. Now that we’ve covered the fundamentals and the codebase setup, it’s time to dig a bit deeper into the backbone Read more…
This is the first article in a hands-on series where we’ll explore how to build gRPC services using Kotlin. The series is designed to help you understand not only the technical how-to, but also the design choices behind Protocol Buffers and gRPC. We’ll start simple and gradually introduce more advanced concepts as we go. Here is Read more…
In the previous article, Taking Kotlin Builders to the Next Level: A Type-Safe DSL Approach, we explored how Kotlin’s type-safe builders allow you to build expressive and concise DSLs. But as soon as your DSL starts nesting structures, something sneaky can happen: receiver conflicts. Let’s take a deeper look at this Read more…
