Things you can do with Spring Boot and Kotlin
Abstract
Thu 16:40 - 17:25 Uhr | 2026
In this talk, I’ll show you how to build microservices efficiently using Kotlin and Spring Boot.
We’ll begin by exploring Kotlin as a drop-in replacement for Java and gradually dive into Kotlin-specific features and libraries that significantly enhance development. We’ll also take a closer look at Kotlin DSLs for Spring Beans, Routing and Security as a sleek alternative to annotation-based configurations essentially turning Spring Boot into a microframework.
Come and join me on this live coding adventure!
