6 verified briefings on Kotlin. Each story includes a plain-English summary, why it matters, and the concrete action engineering teams should take.
JetBrains has renamed its experimental build tool, Amper, to the Kotlin Toolchain. This move aims to create a single, unified entry point for building Kotlin projects, simplifying the developer experience, especially for multiplatform applications.
JetBrains is bringing its powerful IntelliJ IDEA code intelligence for Java and Kotlin to VS Code. The new extension, now a Release Candidate, lets developers use best-in-class features without leaving their preferred editor.

JetBrains is rolling out a new compilation scheme for Kotlin Multiplatform to fix inconsistencies between the IDE and compiler. This update promises more reliable builds and better performance for developers using the cross-platform framework.
A new architectural approach uses Clean Architecture to make serverless applications portable. This lets developers write business logic once and deploy it across multiple clouds like AWS and Azure, avoiding expensive vendor lock-in.
The latest Spring Boot 4.1 release introduces built-in protection against server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. The update also simplifies modern API development with gRPC auto-configuration and adds support for Kotlin 2.3.
