Using Kotlin to Create Kotlin to Teach Kotlin within Space

TOPIC At Instil we use Space as the primary mechanism for coaching developers during virtual training. To ensure privacy, we create a dedicated instance for every workshop we deliver. Initially, this led to headaches when we were manually configuring profiles, teams, repos, blogs, chats and checklists. We since solved this by using the Space HTTP API to create an automated pipeline. Today anyone can configure any workshop in a matter of minutes. This talk will walk you through the code behind this pipeline. In addition to the Space API itself, we will be covering OAuth, the Ktor HTTP Client, DSLs, Functional Patterns and Integrating Testing.
