• Mastering Kotlin: Creating an API With Ktor and MongoDB Atlas

Kotlin's simplicity, Java interoperability, and Ktor's user-friendly framework combined with MongoDB Atlas' flexible cloud database provide a robust stack for modern software development. Together, we'll demonstrate and set up the Ktor project, implement CRUD operations, define API route endpoints, and run the application. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of Kotlin's capabilities in API development and the tools needed to succeed in modern software development.

• Kotlin - Programming Language
• Ktor - Asynchronous framework
• Koin - Dependency Injection framework
• MongoDB Kotlin Driver — Kotlin Coroutine

Follow the steps below to get the Fitness Tracker App up and running local / MongoDB Atlas.
