## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, http-server, http-client, websocket, templating, testing
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: ktor, kotlin, sample-projects, jetbrains, examples
