Today we have the pleasure to host another popular Dependency Injection framework at the Developers’ Bakery.

Please welcome Kodein-DI and Salomon Brys on stage! Kodein is an acronym for KOtlin DEpendency INjection, a framework to help you handle your dependencies in your Kotlin code (on all the platforms!).

But Kodein is not only a DI framework. There is an entire ecosystem of libraries that can help you such as a DB, a logging library and a mocking framework. In this episode, Salomon is going to tell us how Kodein was born and how the whole Kodein initiative kicked off.

Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
