Organizing the Routes
Explore how to organize routes within Ktor microservices by encapsulating domain-specific paths into separate functions. Learn to use routing blocks and the route() function to create cleaner, more maintainable code. Understand Ktor's concurrency model based on coroutines and suspending functions, which enables efficient handling of requests in concurrent environments.

In this section, we’ll see what the idiomatic approach in Ktor is for structuring multiple routes that belong to the same domain.
Our current routing block looks like this:
routing {
get("/status") {
...
}
post("/cats") {
...
}
get("/cats") {
...
}
get("/cats/{id}") {
...
}
}
It would be good if we could extract all the routes that are related to cats into a separate file. Let’s start by replacing all the cat routes with a function:
routing {
get("/status") {
...
}
