Deploy a microservice in Kotlin with Ktor

This series of articles explores the process of deploying a microservice in Kotlin using Ktor, a powerful framework for building asynchronous server-side applications. With its lightweight nature and intuitive syntax, Ktor offers an efficient solution for developing and deploying microservices. We dive into the step-by-step process of setting up a microservice, configuring Ktor for optimal performance, handling HTTP requests, and deploying the microservice to a production environment.
