Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts.

Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts:
* maintaining the list of possible errors up to date (uses Scala 3)
* endpoint explosion with different return data requirements, having to write custom optimized DB queries for each of them
The demonstration will use GraphQL and Caliban, but the principles apply to other endpoint types as well.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.

In this talk, I’ll guide you through the crossroads where Scala intersects with AI, some applications aimed at boosting developer productivity, others focused on integrating your code with LLMs.
When writing software, we currently seem to have to choose between an imperative style - easy to read and write, hard to reason about - and a monadic style - hard to read and write, easy to reason about.This talk is about being greedy and getting the best of both worlds, because we deserve it.
In this talk, I will introduce the highlights of what to look forward to in Scala 3.9 LTS, as well as how to think about the upcoming new release.
