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.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
We'll explore type classes in Scala 3, using its new rules for givens, extension methods, and mechanisms for automatic derivation via mirrors or macros.
So, is there a modern solution for web apps that is powerful, simple, and blazingly fast in both CI and the browser? A solution that lets you write in your favorite backend language and is fun? The answer is Datastar!
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.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
In this presentation, I will demonstrate how we leveraged the strengths of Scala and TypeScript to develop a collaborative text editor that meets the strictest standards for security, performance, and real-time collaboration.
