Benefits

The "Fast-Path" for PostgreSQL REST APIs.

kt-rest is a high-performance Kotlin toolset designed to eliminate the "Backend Tax" of traditional REST frameworks. By bypassing the ORM layer and leveraging PostgreSQL’s native JSON capabilities, kt-rest streams data directly from your database to your clients with near-zero CPU and memory overhead.

• 🚀 Extreme Throughput: Streams JSON directly from the DB socket to the HTTP response, bypassing reflection and serialization.
• 🛠️ One-Line Endpoints: Develop full REST-API responses in a single line using the pgFunctionResponse feature.
• ⚡ Instant Hot-Swapping: Update business logic in production in milliseconds. No rebuilds, no container restarts, and zero downtime.
• 🛡️ Hardened Security: Your API contract lives in Stored Procedures. No direct table access is required for the application user.
• 📉 Zero-Mapping Overhead: Eliminate the "Boilerplate Tax" of DTOs, Mappers, and Repository interfaces.
• 🧪 Atomic Logic: Business logic is inherently transactional and easily testable using standard SQL tools.
• 🧪 Clean SQL Testing: Test your logic where it lives. Decouple data logic from the JVM for faster, more reliable unit tests.
