playground for spring-boot 2.*, kotlin, jetbrains-exposed, postgres (jsonb + cube + earthdistance), flyway, docker
- Yes, we can talk to a sql db. It's easy. No rocket science.
- There is a life besides the "dark art of hibernate / jpa".
- Alternatives: JDBI, Requery, rxjava-jdbc, Jooq, Querydsl, Ktorm (https://ktorm.liuwj.me/), ebean (https://ebean.io/docs/kotlin/) ...
- wiki: https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki
- flavours:
- DSL Api: typesafe sql (immutable data structures)
- DAO Api: ORM-/ActiveRecord-style (mutable entities)
- highlights:
- integrates with spring transaction manager
- works with flyway db migrations
- supports multiple datasources within one application (e.g.: source-db-1, source-db2, sink-db)
- speeds up startup of spring-boot
- low memory footprint (playground runs on 256M)
- precise and typesafe sql queries (WYSISWG)
- no runtime reflection magic
- writing add-ons is simple, e.g. custom db-column-types
- It's easy. No ORM magic. WYSIWYG.
- Ready for starship java "enterprise" deployments.

How does it fit into a modern world of:

- CQRS and eventsourcing
- horizontal scaling of polyglot microservices
