Getting started with Micronaut: Kotlin, JPA, and JWT
The Micronaut guides are really pretty good. So far, I’ve found just about everything I need.

This isn’t surprising, as budgets are limited, of course. What I would like to do here, then, is provide a small sample app, written in Kotlin, that demonstrates how to set up the project, configure and use JPA, and secure the app with JWT.
