I will demonstrate how Pillars can take you from zero to production in record time. By leveraging Pillars’ integration of well-known libraries, you can bypass the usual complexities of setting up observability (traces, metrics, and logs), database access, API calls, and feature flag management.
Building production-ready backend services in Scala can be a daunting task, often requiring the integration of multiple libraries and extensive boilerplate code. But what if you could streamline this process and focus entirely on your business logic? Meet Pillars, the Scala library that does just that.
In this dynamic, 45-minute live-coding session, I will demonstrate how Pillars can take you from zero to production in record time. By leveraging Pillars’ integration of well-known libraries, you can bypass the usual complexities of setting up observability (traces, metrics, and logs), database access, API calls, and feature flag management. Pillars handles these essential components out-of-the-box, along with built-in health checks and an admin server, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters: your business case.
We’ll start from scratch and build a fully functional, production-ready backend service, which will be deployed in a live environment during the session. You’ll see firsthand how Pillars reduces the need for repetitive code, accelerates development, and enhances your ability to deliver robust and scalable services.
Whether you’re a seasoned Scala developer or just getting started, this session will provide you with actionable insights and practical knowledge. Walk away with the confidence and tools to streamline your own projects, making Scala development simpler and more efficient with Pillars.
In this presentation you will learn the source of your issues, and a third way - sanely-automatic derivation which is fast to compile, fast to run, and easy to debug by its users.
In this talk, I'll walk you through coding and design practices I've developed over the years, whilst onboarding new graduates into world of Scala (be it typelevel based API, Spark based ETL, or ML pre and post-processings), and how I made the process easier for people who didn't have much Scala experience beforehand.
In this talk, I will discuss why it's hard to use the power of RT to test side-effect-heavy apps.
In this lightning talk, we will discuss 2 interesting IntelliJ IDEA features.
This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer.
