SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a cohesive approach to building and managing infrastructure-related services in Kotlin Multiplatform, removing boilerplate and ensuring consistent lifecycle, configuration, and observability across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Settings-based configuration: instantiate services from serializable configuration objects, enabling consistent deployments and easy testing.
  • Type-safe data access: generate and consume DataClassPath-based queries for safe, expressive database interactions.
  • Cross-platform service orchestration: unify database, cache, and file-system configurations under a single contract and lifecycle.
  • Health checks and lifecycle management: monitor health, manage connect/disconnect, and support serverless patterns.

Quick Start

Create a ServerSettings instance and initialize a database and cache, then connect them in your application startup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure infrastructure services in Kotlin Multiplatform projects?

Infrastructure services in Kotlin Multiplatform are configured using serialized settings objects. You instantiate services like databases and caches from a ServerSettings instance, ensuring consistent deployments and easy testing across platforms.

How do I manage cross-platform service lifecycles for databases and caches?

Cross-platform service lifecycles are managed through a unified Service interface that handles connect and disconnect operations. This provides consistent orchestration across databases, caches, and file systems in Kotlin Multiplatform.

What is the best way to perform type-safe database queries in Kotlin Multiplatform?

Type-safe database queries are performed using DataClassPath-based query generation. This mechanism enables safe and expressive data access interactions within your Kotlin Multiplatform service layer.

Can I use health checks and serverless patterns with Kotlin service orchestration?

Health checks and serverless patterns are supported during Kotlin service orchestration. The framework monitors service health and manages the connect and disconnect lifecycle to fit serverless execution contexts.

Do I need pluggable implementations for URL-based configuration in Kotlin services?

Pluggable implementations are required for URL-based configuration in Kotlin services. This approach satisfies the settings-based configuration model by allowing flexible infrastructure bindings across different platforms.

Why does configuring multiple infrastructure services create boilerplate in Kotlin Multiplatform?

Configuring multiple infrastructure services creates boilerplate due to inconsistent lifecycles and configuration models. This Skill removes that boilerplate by unifying service orchestration under a single contract and settings-based configuration.
