SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers quickly construct robust Kotlin-based servers using the Lightning Server framework, reducing boilerplate and guiding best practices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-safe endpoint definitions and auto-generated documentation
  • Database abstractions (MongoDB, Postgres, JSON) and caching
  • Authentication, WebSocket support, and background tasks
  • Multi-platform SDK generation (TypeScript, Kotlin)
  • ModelRestEndpoints for convenient CRUD operations
  • Real-world pattern: build rentable APIs with clear lifecycle hooks (interceptCreate, interceptChange, postChange)

Quick Start

Create a minimal Lightning Server module with a simple GET endpoint and wire it into ModelRestEndpoints.

What is denormalize used for in Lightning Server?▼

In Lightning Server, denormalize is used alongside interceptCreate and interceptChange to implement reliable, scalable services by managing data lifecycle hooks during CRUD operations.

Can I use Lightning Server for real-time WebSocket connections?▼

Yes, Lightning Server supports real-time WebSockets alongside REST APIs, authentication, and background tasks to enable robust, scalable Kotlin services for real-time application requirements.

Does Lightning Server support generating multi-platform SDKs?▼

Yes, Lightning Server supports multi-platform SDK generation, producing both TypeScript and Kotlin SDKs to consume your REST APIs across serverless targets and client applications.

What databases work with Kotlin servers built using Lightning Server?▼

Kotlin servers built using Lightning Server work with MongoDB, Postgres, and JSON database abstractions, including built-in caching to support scalable service deployments.

How do I add authentication to a Kotlin server using Lightning Server?▼

You add authentication to a Kotlin server using Lightning Server by leveraging its built-in authentication support, integrating it with your REST endpoints and WebSocket connections for secure access.
