Summary : Master the Art of Building Production-Ready APIs with Kotlin Every time you refresh a social feed, check the weather, or tap "buy now," a hidden system of servers and code makes it happen. This book teaches you how to build that invisible backbone, using Kotlin, one of the fastest-growing languages in modern software engineering. Designed for beginner-to-intermediate developers, this comprehensive guide takes you from foundational REST principles all the way to deploying secure, scalable, production-grade backend systems. Whether you are a frontend developer ready to go full-stack, a programmer switching from Python, JavaScript, or Ruby, or a self-taught coder hungry for real-world skills, this book bridges the gap between tutorials and true software engineering. What You Will Learn: The core principles of REST architecture, HTTP protocols, and client-server communication How to structure professional Kotlin backend projects using modern frameworks Building robust API routing, request handling, and input validation systems Connecting to relational databases with ORM tools and managing transactions safely Implementing authentication, authorization, and industry-standard security practices Writing automated tests, structured logging, and clear API documentation Containerization, deployment, performance optimization, and long-term maintainability Inside This Book: Structured across six comprehensive parts and twenty in-depth chapters, this guide covers everything from Kotlin essentials for server-side engineers to deployment and production readiness. Practical checklists, security best practices, and a library reference appendix make this book a lasting desk companion, not just a one-time read. This is not a shortcut guide. It is a disciplined, step-by-step path toward writing backend code that is reliable, secure, maintainable, and observable, the four pillars of true production-readiness. By the final page, you will not just know how to write Kotlin, you will think like a backend engineer. If you are ready to stop consuming APIs and start building them, this book is your starting point.
