Kotlin and Micronaut Programming - Building a personal finance app Day 2

Day 2 of building a personal finance app with Kotlin and Micronaut. Tonight we explore the JDBC interface, database connection pooling, and automated database migrations

Tonight we start work on setting up the database for the project. We walk through the JDBC interface and how to use Hikari for connection pooling. We setup a local postgres instance using Docker and Docker Compose.

We then take a look at the built in health endpoints in Micronaut and integrate with Flyway for database migrations.
