Scaffolding a Kotlin Ktor service is done by generating a production-ready project structure that integrates Flyway for database migrations, Koin for dependency injection, and KotliQuery for data access. This provides a fully configured Gradle build setup instantly.

A NAIS-compatible Ktor microservice boilerplate includes Gradle build files, source code, resources, a Dockerfile, and a NAIS deployment manifest. It applies standard Nav patterns to enable rapid bootstrapping and deployment in Nav's environment.

You can use this Ktor scaffold for backend microservices and API gateways requiring fast bootstrapping. It generates a production-ready Kotlin service with necessary dependencies and deployment artifacts configured.

The generated Kotlin Ktor project setup works with Flyway for database migrations and KotliQuery for data access. It applies these alongside Koin for dependency injection to ensure consistency across services.

The best way to bootstrap a new Kotlin Ktor backend following Nav conventions is to generate a complete service scaffold. This provides a standardized Gradle setup with all necessary dependencies, source code, and NAIS deployment configuration.

You do not need to manually configure Koin and NAIS deployment. Generating the Ktor scaffold automatically integrates Koin for dependency injection and provides the necessary Dockerfile and NAIS manifest scaffolding for deployment.
