I’m excited to share the first stable release of sqlx4k — a high-performance, non-blocking database driver for Kotlin Multiplatform.</p> <p>What it is:</p> <ul> <li>A Kotlin-first, async driver for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite</li> <li>Works across JVM and native targets (macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android NDK)</li> <li>Built for coroutines and modern, scalable apps</li> </ul> <p>You can check it out here: <a href="https://github.com/smyrgeorge/sqlx4k" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/smyrgeorge/sqlx4k</a></p> <p>Highlights:</p> <ul> <li>Async I/O with connection pooling</li> <li>Prepared statements (named and positional)</li> <li>Row mappers</li> <li>Transactions + coroutine-friendly TransactionContext</li> <li>Code generation (CRUD and @Repository with KSP)</li> <li>Database migrations</li> <li>PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY</li> <li>SQLDelight integration</li> </ul> <p>Supported targets:</p> <ul> <li>JVM (PostgreSQL and MySQL on JVM today)</li> <li>iosArm64, androidNativeX64/Arm64, macosArm64/X64, linuxArm64/X64, mingwX64</li> <li>wasmWasi is being explored</li> </ul> <p>Get it from Maven Central:</p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>// PostgreSQL implementation("io.github.smyrgeorge:sqlx4k-postgres:1.0.0") // MySQL implementation("io.github.smyrgeorge:sqlx4k-mysql:1.0.0") // SQLite implementation("io.github.smyrgeorge:sqlx4k-sqlite:1.0.0") </code></pre> </div> kotlin postgres mysql sqlite Yorgos S.

It features a compact wrapper library designed for the Kotlin Native platform ecosystem. This library serves as a Postgres driver, leveraging the sqlx library from the Rust ecosystem behind the scenes.</p> <p>What's particularly fascinating is the advantage we can gain from the C interoperability that both Kotlin and Rust provide.</p> <p>Feel free to check it out and give it a star if you find it useful!</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/smyrgeorge/sqlx4k" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/smyrgeorge/sqlx4k</a></p>
