Stabilize Your Kotlin Development with Koin 3.5 Long-Term Support

Do frequent updates and the need for constant integration disrupt your Kotlin development projects? Enter Koin 3.5 Long-Term Support (LTS) — a solution for enterprise apps that need reliability and long-term stability.

Recognizing the requirements of Kotlin development teams, our Koin project consistently evolves through frequent, community-driven updates every six months.  

But, we've noticed that frequent updates, while beneficial, can pose significant headaches for big businesses, especially in regulated environments or those using complex technologies such as  Internet of Things (IoT). Navigating compliance issues, addressing technical debt, and keeping documentation up-to-date in these scenarios can impede progress. This is precisely why we've developed a tailored solution for enterprises who find themselves in this situation.

Enter Koin LTS (Long-Term Support)

To help Kotlin teams  & businesses overcome these challenges, we're introducing our Koin 3.5 Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Koin. This new offering provides a minimum of 18 months of extended, professional support, tailored specifically for businesses that demand greater stability and predictability for their projects.

This stability is crucial for applications in sectors where changes need to be managed carefully and deliberately.
