ABOUT THIS EPISODE

http4k with David Denton

Time for a new episode of The Developers’ Bakery! 🎉

In this episode, we dive into the world of http4k with David Denton, exploring how you can treat your server as a function! Thanks to Kotlin expressivity, http4k allows you to develop server applications that are easy to test and maintain.

David created and maintains the http4k together with Ivan Sanchez, and will share his story in creating this framework, which they claim it stands out as the most testable web toolkit. We will also discuss their journey from an open-source project to becoming a full-fledged company.

Tune in to learn everything http4k!
