An official JetBrains collection of ready-to-use sample projects for the Ktor web framework, written in Kotlin. It demonstrates server, client, deployment, and testing patterns through small runnable applications like chat, reverse proxy, and database-backed CRUD apps.

Use cases

• learn how to build a Ktor server application
• example of websockets chat in Kotlin
• how to use Ktor with Postgres or MongoDB
• sample Ktor reverse proxy implementation
• how to write tests for a Ktor application
• Ktor client usage examples
• deploy a Ktor app with Docker

When to choose

• you are learning Ktor and want runnable reference code
• you need a starting template for a specific Ktor feature like SSE, sessions, or OpenAPI
• you want official, maintained examples from JetBrains

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready application rather than illustrative samples
• you are not using Kotlin or the JVM
• you need comprehensive documentation instead of code examples
