A summary of popular security frameworks available for use with Scala.

Vitalii Honta - Project Trembita - Functional Data Pipelining (Lightning Talk) ScalaUA2018 Project Trembita is a library in active development. Modules and f...

Moore's Law may be dead, but CPUs acquire more cores every year. If you want to minimize response latency in your application, you need to use every last core - without wasting resources that would destroy performance and throughput. Traditional locks grind…

How to monitor software architecture? Let's say we are developing an application with the Akka stack: Http, Clustering, Persistence. Everything is asynchronous, non-blocking and event-oriented.

In this webinar by Hugh McKee, Developer Advocate at Lightbend, we take a look at how Akka and Kubernetes enjoy a symbiotic relationship, using live “crop circle” visuals to help. See the full video, slides, and additional resources here:

Using Akka the "right way" is non-trivial. At its 10 years anniversary, I'd like to share my early pitfalls and misusage of this great toolkit and how you can master it to write fault-tolerant and elegant programs. Based on my bias opinion, you'll learn how…

As a niche consulting and development organization we end up in a lot of enterprises who would like to modernize, would like to build web-scale products but the

Can Akka Cluster + Sharding + Persistence create an ultimate trio for building fast, resilient, scalable, distributed applications?

Using Akka Cluster as the main method of communication in microservices architecture is a bad idea.

An in-memory cache is a crucial component in a modern software architecture. It can improve the throughput of a system. As a result, the…

In this article I won’t go into akka-cluster details and why it’s great. You can find a lot of excellent articles about it. Of course a…

Functional programming helps programmers to reason about their codebase using referential transparency and side-effect
control principles. Let’s push the limit and make pure-functional REST service using IO Monad from Cats-Effect project. First, we will do…

Let’s use Scala and its famous library AkkaHttp to build microservice for Create-Read-Update-Delete type of operations. We will briefly…

This talk was given by Mateusz Sokol at the Functional Scala conference held at The National Gallery and hosted by John De Goes on the 12th and 13th of December.

In this talk we are going to create a functional and blazingly fast microservice. We will use functional programming abstractions to quickly mix & match different HTTP libraries, state implementations and concurrency configurations. Each step will be followed…

The Serverless experience is revolutionary and will grow to dominate the future of Cloud Computing. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is, however—with its ephemeral, stateless, and short-lived functions—is only the first step. FaaS is great for processing intensive…

Implementing the Saga Pattern with Akka

I will demonstrate how to implement the saga pattern with akka-cluster, akka-cluster-sharding and akka-persistence. The saga pattern lets you implement business requirements that would normally be implemented with…
