Introducing Kotlin at ING, a long but rewarding story
This article describes our journey being the first team to run Kotlin in the backend at ING (Netherlands). Hopefully this article will give you some keys on how to introduce it as well in your own large company, and reduce some of the friction you might encounter.

How do you bring in something you believe in, and will make you better in a company of 20 000 people where compliancy is crucial? We just wrote about it on the official ING Tech blog.
