Kofu: Functional Spring Configuration

Spring Kofu (for Kotlin and functional) is an experimental new API for configuring Spring applications. Instead of relying on annotations and classpath scanning to configure your application, Kofu provides you an explicit Kotlin DSL for functional bean definition. Combined with the GraalVM, Kofu applications start in single-digit milliseconds and have a lower memory footprint.

This will be a hands-on quickie, where we will be using Spring Kofu to build a simple REST API.
