-# Ktor Server Patterns
-
-Comprehensive Ktor patterns for building robust, maintainable HTTP servers with Kotlin coroutines.
-
-## When to Activate
-
-- Building Ktor HTTP servers
-- Configuring Ktor plugins (Auth, CORS, ContentNegotiation, StatusPages)
-- Implementing REST APIs with Ktor
-- Setting up dependency injection with Koin
-- Writing Ktor integration tests with testApplication
-- Working with WebSockets in Ktor

-### Application Entry Point
-
-```kotlin
-// Application.kt
-fun main() {
-    embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080, module = Application::module).start(wait = true)
-}
-
-fun Application.module() {
-    configureSerialization()
-    configureAuthentication()
-    configureStatusPages()
-    configureCORS()
-    configureDI()
-    configureRouting()
-}
-```
-
-## Routing DSL
-
-### Basic Routes
-
-```kotlin
-// plugins/Routing.kt
-fun Application.configureRouting() {
-    routing {
-        userRoutes()
-        authRoutes()
-        healthRoutes()
-    }
-}
-
-// routes/UserRoutes.kt
-fun Route.userRoutes() {
-    val userService by inject<UserService>()
-
-    route("/users") {
-        get {
-            val users = userService.getAll()
-            call.respond(users)
-        }
-
-        get("/{id}") {
-            val id = call.parameters["id"]
-                ?: return@get call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
-            val user = userService.getById(id)
-                ?: return@get call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
-            call.respond(user)
-        }
-
-        post {
-            val request = call.receive<CreateUserRequest>()
-            val user = userService.create(request)
-            call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, user)
-        }
-
-        put("/{id}") {
-            val id = call.parameters["id"]
-                ?: return@put call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
-            val request = call.receive<UpdateUserRequest>()
-            val user = userService.update(id, request)
-                ?: return@put call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
-            call.respond(user)
-        }
-
-        delete("/{id}") {
-            val id = call.parameters["id"]
-                ?: return@delete call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
-            val deleted = userService.delete(id)
-            if (deleted) call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NoContent)
-            else call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Route Organization with Authenticated Routes
-
-```kotlin
-fun Route.userRoutes() {
-    route("/users") {
-        // Public routes
-        get { /* list users */ }
-        get("/{id}") { /* get user */ }
-
-        // Protected routes
-        authenticate("jwt") {
-            post { /* create user - requires auth */ }
-            put("/{id}") { /* update user - requires auth */ }
-            delete("/{id}") { /* delete user - requires auth */ }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Content Negotiation & Serialization
-
-### kotlinx.serialization Setup
-
-```kotlin
-// plugins/Serialization.kt
-fun Application.configureSerialization() {
-    install(ContentNegotiation) {
-        json(Json {
-            prettyPrint = true
-            isLenient = false
-            ignoreUnknownKeys = true
-            encodeDefaults = true
-            explicitNulls = false
-        })
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Serializable Models
-
-```kotlin
-@Serializable
-data class UserResponse(
-    val id: String,
-    val name: String,
-    val email: String,
-    val role: Role,
-    @Serializable(with = InstantSerializer::class)
-    val createdAt: Instant,
-)
-
-@Serializable
-data class CreateUserRequest(
-    val name: String,
-    val email: String,
-    val role: Role = Role.USER,
-)
-
-@Serializable
-data class ApiResponse<T>(
-    val success: Boolean,
-    val data: T? = null,
-    val error: String? = null,
-) {
-    companion object {
-        fun <T> ok(data: T): ApiResponse<T> = ApiResponse(success = true, data = data)
-        fun <T> error(message: String): ApiResponse<T> = ApiResponse(success = false, error = message)
-    }
-}
-
-@Serializable
-data class PaginatedResponse<T>(
-    val data: List<T>,
-    val total: Long,
-    val page: Int,
-    val limit: Int,
-)
-```
-
-### Custom Serializers
-
-```kotlin
-object InstantSerializer : KSerializer<Instant> {
-    override val descriptor = PrimitiveSerialDescriptor("Instant", PrimitiveKind.STRING)
-    override fun serialize(encoder: Encoder, value: Instant) =
-        encoder.encodeString(value.toString())
-    override fun deserialize(decoder: Decoder): Instant =
-        Instant.parse(decoder.decodeString())
-}
-```
-
-## Authentication
-
-### JWT Authentication
-
-```kotlin
-// plugins/Authentication.kt
-fun Application.configureAuthentication() {
-    val jwtSecret = environment.config.property("jwt.secret").getString()
-    val jwtIssuer = environment.config.property("jwt.issuer").getString()
-    val jwtAudience = environment.config.property("jwt.audience").getString()
-    val jwtRealm = environment.config.property("jwt.realm").getString()
-
-    install(Authentication) {
-        jwt("jwt") {
-            realm = jwtRealm
-            verifier(
-                JWT.require(Algorithm.HMAC256(jwtSecret))
-                    .withAudience(jwtAudience)
-                    .withIssuer(jwtIssuer)
-                    .build()
-            )
-            validate { credential ->
-                if (credential.payload.audience.contains(jwtAudience)) {
-                    JWTPrincipal(credential.payload)
-                } else {
-                    null
-                }
-            }
-            challenge { _, _ ->
-                call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid or expired token"))
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-// Extracting user from JWT
-fun ApplicationCall.userId(): String =
-    principal<JWTPrincipal>()
-        ?.payload
-        ?.getClaim("userId")
-        ?.asString()
-        ?: throw AuthenticationException("No userId in token")
-```
-
-### Auth Routes
-
-```kotlin
-fun Route.authRoutes() {
-    val authService by inject<AuthService>()
-
-    route("/auth") {
-        post("/login") {
-            val request = call.receive<LoginRequest>()
-            val token = authService.login(request.email, request.password)
-                ?: return@post call.respond(
-                    HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized,
-                    ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid credentials"),
-                )
-            call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(TokenResponse(token)))
-        }
-
-        post("/register") {
-            val request = call.receive<RegisterRequest>()
-            val user = authService.register(request)
-            call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, ApiResponse.ok(user))
-        }
-
-        authenticate("jwt") {
-            get("/me") {
-                val userId = call.userId()
-                val user = authService.getProfile(userId)
-                call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(user))
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Status Pages (Error Handling)
-
-```kotlin
-// plugins/StatusPages.kt
-fun Application.configureStatusPages() {
-    install(StatusPages) {
-        exception<ContentTransformationException> { call, cause ->
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid request body: ${cause.message}"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        exception<IllegalArgumentException> { call, cause ->
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>(cause.message ?: "Bad request"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        exception<AuthenticationException> { call, _ ->
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Authentication required"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        exception<AuthorizationException> { call, _ ->
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.Forbidden,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Access denied"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        exception<NotFoundException> { call, cause ->
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.NotFound,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>(cause.message ?: "Resource not found"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        exception<Throwable> { call, cause ->
-            call.application.log.error("Unhandled exception", cause)
-            call.respond(
-                HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError,
-                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Internal server error"),
-            )
-        }
-
-        status(HttpStatusCode.NotFound) { call, status ->
-            call.respond(status, ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Route not found"))
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## CORS Configuration
-
-```kotlin
-// plugins/CORS.kt
-fun Application.configureCORS() {
-    install(CORS) {
-        allowHost("localhost:3000")
-        allowHost("example.com", schemes = listOf("https"))
-        allowHeader(HttpHeaders.ContentType)
-        allowHeader(HttpHeaders.Authorization)
-        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Put)
-        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Delete)
-        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Patch)
-        allowCredentials = true
-        maxAgeInSeconds = 3600
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Koin Dependency Injection
-
-### Module Definition
-
-```kotlin
-// di/AppModule.kt
-val appModule = module {
-    // Database
-    single<Database> { DatabaseFactory.create(get()) }
-
-    // Repositories
-    single<UserRepository> { ExposedUserRepository(get()) }
-    single<OrderRepository> { ExposedOrderRepository(get()) }
-
-    // Services
-    single { UserService(get()) }
-    single { OrderService(get(), get()) }
-    single { AuthService(get(), get()) }
-}
-
-// Application setup
-fun Application.configureDI() {
-    install(Koin) {
-        modules(appModule)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Using Koin in Routes
-
-```kotlin
-fun Route.userRoutes() {
-    val userService by inject<UserService>()
-
-    route("/users") {
-        get {
-            val users = userService.getAll()
-            call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(users))
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Koin for Testing
-
-```kotlin
-class UserServiceTest : FunSpec(), KoinTest {
-    override fun extensions() = listOf(KoinExtension(testModule))
-
-    private val testModule = module {
-        single<UserRepository> { mockk() }
-        single { UserService(get()) }
-    }
-
-    private val repository by inject<UserRepository>()
-    private val service by inject<UserService>()
-
-    init {
-        test("getUser returns user") {
-            coEvery { repository.findById("1") } returns testUser
-            service.getById("1") shouldBe testUser
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Request Validation
-
-```kotlin
-// Validate request data in routes
-fun Route.userRoutes() {
-    val userService by inject<UserService>()
-
-    post("/users") {
-        val request = call.receive<CreateUserRequest>()
-
-        // Validate
-        require(request.name.isNotBlank()) { "Name is required" }
-        require(request.name.length <= 100) { "Name must be 100 characters or less" }
-        require(request.email.matches(Regex(".+@.+\\..+"))) { "Invalid email format" }
-
-        val user = userService.create(request)
-        call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, ApiResponse.ok(user))
-    }
-}
-
-// Or use a validation extension
-fun CreateUserRequest.validate() {
-    require(name.isNotBlank()) { "Name is required" }
-    require(name.length <= 100) { "Name must be 100 characters or less" }
-    require(email.matches(Regex(".+@.+\\..+"))) { "Invalid email format" }
-}
-```
-
-## WebSockets
-
-```kotlin
-fun Application.configureWebSockets() {
-    install(WebSockets) {
-        pingPeriod = 15.seconds
-        timeout = 15.seconds
-        maxFrameSize = 64 * 1024 // 64 KiB — increase only if your protocol requires larger frames
-        masking = false // Server-to-client frames are unmasked per RFC 6455; client-to-server are always masked by Ktor
-    }
-}
-
-fun Route.chatRoutes() {
-    val connections = Collections.synchronizedSet<Connection>(LinkedHashSet())
-
-    webSocket("/chat") {
-        val thisConnection = Connection(this)
-        connections += thisConnection
-
-        try {
-            send("Connected! Users online: ${connections.size}")
-
-            for (frame in incoming) {
-                frame as? Frame.Text ?: continue
-                val text = frame.readText()
-                val message = ChatMessage(thisConnection.name, text)
-
-                // Snapshot under lock to avoid ConcurrentModificationException
-                val snapshot = synchronized(connections) { connections.toList() }
-                snapshot.forEach { conn ->
-                    conn.session.send(Json.encodeToString(message))
-                }
-            }
-        } catch (e: Exception) {
-            logger.error("WebSocket error", e)
-        } finally {
-            connections -= thisConnection
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-data class Connection(val session: DefaultWebSocketSession) {
-    val name: String = "User-${counter.getAndIncrement()}"
-
-    companion object {
-        private val counter = AtomicInteger(0)
-    }
-}
-```

-## Quick Reference: Ktor Patterns
-
-| Pattern | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| `route("/path") { get { } }` | Route grouping with DSL |
-| `call.receive<T>()` | Deserialize request body |
-| `call.respond(status, body)` | Send response with status |
-| `call.parameters["id"]` | Read path parameters |
-| `call.request.queryParameters["q"]` | Read query parameters |
-| `install(Plugin) { }` | Install and configure plugin |
-| `authenticate("name") { }` | Protect routes with auth |
-| `by inject<T>()` | Koin dependency injection |
-| `testApplication { }` | Integration testing |
-
-**Remember**: Ktor is designed around Kotlin coroutines and DSLs. Keep routes thin, push logic to services, and use Koin for dependency injection. Test with `testApplication` for full integration coverage.

+# Ktor Server Patterns
+
+Comprehensive Ktor patterns for building robust, maintainable HTTP servers with Kotlin coroutines.
+
+## When to Activate
+
+- Building Ktor HTTP servers
+- Configuring Ktor plugins (Auth, CORS, ContentNegotiation, StatusPages)
+- Implementing REST APIs with Ktor
+- Setting up dependency injection with Koin
+- Writing Ktor integration tests with testApplication
+- Working with WebSockets in Ktor
+

+### Application Entry Point
+
+```kotlin
+// Application.kt
+fun main() {
+    embeddedServer(Netty, port = 8080, module = Application::module).start(wait = true)
+}
+
+fun Application.module() {
+    configureSerialization()
+    configureAuthentication()
+    configureStatusPages()
+    configureCORS()
+    configureDI()
+    configureRouting()
+}
+```
+
+## Routing DSL
+
+### Basic Routes
+
+```kotlin
+// plugins/Routing.kt
+fun Application.configureRouting() {
+    routing {
+        userRoutes()
+        authRoutes()
+        healthRoutes()
+    }
+}
+
+// routes/UserRoutes.kt
+fun Route.userRoutes() {
+    val userService by inject<UserService>()
+
+    route("/users") {
+        get {
+            val users = userService.getAll()
+            call.respond(users)
+        }
+
+        get("/{id}") {
+            val id = call.parameters["id"]
+                ?: return@get call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
+            val user = userService.getById(id)
+                ?: return@get call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
+            call.respond(user)
+        }
+
+        post {
+            val request = call.receive<CreateUserRequest>()
+            val user = userService.create(request)
+            call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, user)
+        }
+
+        put("/{id}") {
+            val id = call.parameters["id"]
+                ?: return@put call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
+            val request = call.receive<UpdateUserRequest>()
+            val user = userService.update(id, request)
+                ?: return@put call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
+            call.respond(user)
+        }
+
+        delete("/{id}") {
+            val id = call.parameters["id"]
+                ?: return@delete call.respond(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing id")
+            val deleted = userService.delete(id)
+            if (deleted) call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NoContent)
+            else call.respond(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Route Organization with Authenticated Routes
+
+```kotlin
+fun Route.userRoutes() {
+    route("/users") {
+        // Public routes
+        get { /* list users */ }
+        get("/{id}") { /* get user */ }
+
+        // Protected routes
+        authenticate("jwt") {
+            post { /* create user - requires auth */ }
+            put("/{id}") { /* update user - requires auth */ }
+            delete("/{id}") { /* delete user - requires auth */ }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Content Negotiation & Serialization
+
+### kotlinx.serialization Setup
+
+```kotlin
+// plugins/Serialization.kt
+fun Application.configureSerialization() {
+    install(ContentNegotiation) {
+        json(Json {
+            prettyPrint = true
+            isLenient = false
+            ignoreUnknownKeys = true
+            encodeDefaults = true
+            explicitNulls = false
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Serializable Models
+
+```kotlin
+@Serializable
+data class UserResponse(
+    val id: String,
+    val name: String,
+    val email: String,
+    val role: Role,
+    @Serializable(with = InstantSerializer::class)
+    val createdAt: Instant,
+)
+
+@Serializable
+data class CreateUserRequest(
+    val name: String,
+    val email: String,
+    val role: Role = Role.USER,
+)
+
+@Serializable
+data class ApiResponse<T>(
+    val success: Boolean,
+    val data: T? = null,
+    val error: String? = null,
+) {
+    companion object {
+        fun <T> ok(data: T): ApiResponse<T> = ApiResponse(success = true, data = data)
+        fun <T> error(message: String): ApiResponse<T> = ApiResponse(success = false, error = message)
+    }
+}
+
+@Serializable
+data class PaginatedResponse<T>(
+    val data: List<T>,
+    val total: Long,
+    val page: Int,
+    val limit: Int,
+)
+```
+
+### Custom Serializers
+
+```kotlin
+object InstantSerializer : KSerializer<Instant> {
+    override val descriptor = PrimitiveSerialDescriptor("Instant", PrimitiveKind.STRING)
+    override fun serialize(encoder: Encoder, value: Instant) =
+        encoder.encodeString(value.toString())
+    override fun deserialize(decoder: Decoder): Instant =
+        Instant.parse(decoder.decodeString())
+}
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### JWT Authentication
+
+```kotlin
+// plugins/Authentication.kt
+fun Application.configureAuthentication() {
+    val jwtSecret = environment.config.property("jwt.secret").getString()
+    val jwtIssuer = environment.config.property("jwt.issuer").getString()
+    val jwtAudience = environment.config.property("jwt.audience").getString()
+    val jwtRealm = environment.config.property("jwt.realm").getString()
+
+    install(Authentication) {
+        jwt("jwt") {
+            realm = jwtRealm
+            verifier(
+                JWT.require(Algorithm.HMAC256(jwtSecret))
+                    .withAudience(jwtAudience)
+                    .withIssuer(jwtIssuer)
+                    .build()
+            )
+            validate { credential ->
+                if (credential.payload.audience.contains(jwtAudience)) {
+                    JWTPrincipal(credential.payload)
+                } else {
+                    null
+                }
+            }
+            challenge { _, _ ->
+                call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid or expired token"))
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// Extracting user from JWT
+fun ApplicationCall.userId(): String =
+    principal<JWTPrincipal>()
+        ?.payload
+        ?.getClaim("userId")
+        ?.asString()
+        ?: throw AuthenticationException("No userId in token")
+```
+
+### Auth Routes
+
+```kotlin
+fun Route.authRoutes() {
+    val authService by inject<AuthService>()
+
+    route("/auth") {
+        post("/login") {
+            val request = call.receive<LoginRequest>()
+            val token = authService.login(request.email, request.password)
+                ?: return@post call.respond(
+                    HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized,
+                    ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid credentials"),
+                )
+            call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(TokenResponse(token)))
+        }
+
+        post("/register") {
+            val request = call.receive<RegisterRequest>()
+            val user = authService.register(request)
+            call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, ApiResponse.ok(user))
+        }
+
+        authenticate("jwt") {
+            get("/me") {
+                val userId = call.userId()
+                val user = authService.getProfile(userId)
+                call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(user))
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Status Pages (Error Handling)
+
+```kotlin
+// plugins/StatusPages.kt
+fun Application.configureStatusPages() {
+    install(StatusPages) {
+        exception<ContentTransformationException> { call, cause ->
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Invalid request body: ${cause.message}"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        exception<IllegalArgumentException> { call, cause ->
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>(cause.message ?: "Bad request"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        exception<AuthenticationException> { call, _ ->
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Authentication required"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        exception<AuthorizationException> { call, _ ->
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.Forbidden,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Access denied"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        exception<NotFoundException> { call, cause ->
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.NotFound,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>(cause.message ?: "Resource not found"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        exception<Throwable> { call, cause ->
+            call.application.log.error("Unhandled exception", cause)
+            call.respond(
+                HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError,
+                ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Internal server error"),
+            )
+        }
+
+        status(HttpStatusCode.NotFound) { call, status ->
+            call.respond(status, ApiResponse.error<Unit>("Route not found"))
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## CORS Configuration
+
+```kotlin
+// plugins/CORS.kt
+fun Application.configureCORS() {
+    install(CORS) {
+        allowHost("localhost:3000")
+        allowHost("example.com", schemes = listOf("https"))
+        allowHeader(HttpHeaders.ContentType)
+        allowHeader(HttpHeaders.Authorization)
+        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Put)
+        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Delete)
+        allowMethod(HttpMethod.Patch)
+        allowCredentials = true
+        maxAgeInSeconds = 3600
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Koin Dependency Injection
+
+### Module Definition
+
+```kotlin
+// di/AppModule.kt
+val appModule = module {
+    // Database
+    single<Database> { DatabaseFactory.create(get()) }
+
+    // Repositories
+    single<UserRepository> { ExposedUserRepository(get()) }
+    single<OrderRepository> { ExposedOrderRepository(get()) }
+
+    // Services
+    single { UserService(get()) }
+    single { OrderService(get(), get()) }
+    single { AuthService(get(), get()) }
+}
+
+// Application setup
+fun Application.configureDI() {
+    install(Koin) {
+        modules(appModule)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Using Koin in Routes
+
+```kotlin
+fun Route.userRoutes() {
+    val userService by inject<UserService>()
+
+    route("/users") {
+        get {
+            val users = userService.getAll()
+            call.respond(ApiResponse.ok(users))
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Koin for Testing
+
+```kotlin
+class UserServiceTest : FunSpec(), KoinTest {
+    override fun extensions() = listOf(KoinExtension(testModule))
+
+    private val testModule = module {
+        single<UserRepository> { mockk() }
+        single { UserService(get()) }
+    }
+
+    private val repository by inject<UserRepository>()
+    private val service by inject<UserService>()
+
+    init {
+        test("getUser returns user") {
+            coEvery { repository.findById("1") } returns testUser
+            service.getById("1") shouldBe testUser
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Request Validation
+
+```kotlin
+// Validate request data in routes
+fun Route.userRoutes() {
+    val userService by inject<UserService>()
+
+    post("/users") {
+        val request = call.receive<CreateUserRequest>()
+
+        // Validate
+        require(request.name.isNotBlank()) { "Name is required" }
+        require(request.name.length <= 100) { "Name must be 100 characters or less" }
+        require(request.email.matches(Regex(".+@.+\\..+"))) { "Invalid email format" }
+
+        val user = userService.create(request)
+        call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Created, ApiResponse.ok(user))
+    }
+}
+
+// Or use a validation extension
+fun CreateUserRequest.validate() {
+    require(name.isNotBlank()) { "Name is required" }
+    require(name.length <= 100) { "Name must be 100 characters or less" }
+    require(email.matches(Regex(".+@.+\\..+"))) { "Invalid email format" }
+}
+```
+
+## WebSockets
+
+```kotlin
+fun Application.configureWebSockets() {
+    install(WebSockets) {
+        pingPeriod = 15.seconds
+        timeout = 15.seconds
+        maxFrameSize = 64 * 1024 // 64 KiB — increase only if your protocol requires larger frames
+        masking = false // Server-to-client frames are unmasked per RFC 6455; client-to-server are always masked by Ktor
+    }
+}
+
+fun Route.chatRoutes() {
+    val connections = Collections.synchronizedSet<Connection>(LinkedHashSet())
+
+    webSocket("/chat") {
+        val thisConnection = Connection(this)
+        connections += thisConnection
+
+        try {
+            send("Connected! Users online: ${connections.size}")
+
+            for (frame in incoming) {
+                frame as? Frame.Text ?: continue
+                val text = frame.readText()
+                val message = ChatMessage(thisConnection.name, text)
+
+                // Snapshot under lock to avoid ConcurrentModificationException
+                val snapshot = synchronized(connections) { connections.toList() }
+                snapshot.forEach { conn ->
+                    conn.session.send(Json.encodeToString(message))
+                }
+            }
+        } catch (e: Exception) {
+            logger.error("WebSocket error", e)
+        } finally {
+            connections -= thisConnection
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+data class Connection(val session: DefaultWebSocketSession) {
+    val name: String = "User-${counter.getAndIncrement()}"
+
+    companion object {
+        private val counter = AtomicInteger(0)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## testApplication Testing

+### Testing Authenticated Routes
+
+```kotlin
+class AuthenticatedRoutesTest : FunSpec({
+    test("protected route requires JWT") {
+        testApplication {
+            application {
+                install(Koin) { modules(testModule) }
+                configureSerialization()
+                configureAuthentication()
+                configureRouting()
+            }
+
+            val response = client.post("/users") {

+
+            response.status shouldBe HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized
+        }
+    }
+

+            }
+
+            val token = generateTestJWT(userId = "test-user")
+
+            val client = createClient {
+                install(io.ktor.client.plugins.contentnegotiation.ContentNegotiation) { json() }
+            }

+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### application.yaml
+
+```yaml
+ktor:
+  application:
+    modules:
+      - com.example.ApplicationKt.module
+  deployment:
+    port: 8080
+
+jwt:
+  secret: ${JWT_SECRET}
+  issuer: "https://example.com"
+  audience: "https://example.com/api"
+  realm: "example"
+
+database:
+  url: ${DATABASE_URL}
+  driver: "org.postgresql.Driver"
+  maxPoolSize: 10
+```
+
+### Reading Config
+
+```kotlin
+fun Application.configureDI() {
+    val dbUrl = environment.config.property("database.url").getString()
+    val dbDriver = environment.config.property("database.driver").getString()
+    val maxPoolSize = environment.config.property("database.maxPoolSize").getString().toInt()
+
+    install(Koin) {
+        modules(module {
+            single { DatabaseConfig(dbUrl, dbDriver, maxPoolSize) }
+            single { DatabaseFactory.create(get()) }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Reference: Ktor Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `route("/path") { get { } }` | Route grouping with DSL |
+| `call.receive<T>()` | Deserialize request body |
+| `call.respond(status, body)` | Send response with status |
+| `call.parameters["id"]` | Read path parameters |
+| `call.request.queryParameters["q"]` | Read query parameters |
+| `install(Plugin) { }` | Install and configure plugin |
+| `authenticate("name") { }` | Protect routes with auth |
+| `by inject<T>()` | Koin dependency injection |
+| `testApplication { }` | Integration testing |
+
+**Remember**: Ktor is designed around Kotlin coroutines and DSLs. Keep routes thin, push logic to services, and use Koin for dependency injection. Test with `testApplication` for full integration coverage.
