Direct2DB: Radically simplified app architecture with Kotlin
summary
Argues a concrete architecture: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose Multiplatform apps talk JDBC direct to Postgres with Postgres providing RPC, row‑level security and authentication via PL/Java stored procedures; schema versioning with Flyway, type‑safe access from Juke, and packaging/updates via Conveyor delta updates. Demo bug tracker runs over the Internet, sends signup emails from the database and installs in ~6–7 seconds; a GraalVM native build shrinks RAM from ~160 MB to ~62 MB (>50% reduction). Promises no web servers and shows it actually works.
