Spring and React on Kotlin: Phantom Pains of Full Stack

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

A developer describes building the open-source SAVE benchmarking ecosystem using Spring Boot WebFlux, S3, Docker, Kubernetes and React, but ultimately implementing the app entirely in Kotlin (Kotlin/JVM, Kotlin/JS and some Kotlin/Native). The talk covers practical outcomes of that switch, issues a full‑stack developer faces (“phantom pains”) when using Kotlin across the stack, considerations about Kotlin Multiplatform (Kotlin MPP) and whether a single-language monolithic app with shared code is convenient, plus reflections on backend developers becoming full‑stack with Kotlin and using Spring with Kotlin.
