In this talk, I'd like to share how the Iron library and features from Scala 3 helped us build a solution which is safer, more robust, and easier to maintain.
This just crept up on us. Being a team responsible for integrations with external communication providers (smses, emails, etc), one day we woke up realising that a lot of of our work is managing changes to templates - handling other teams' requests to add or alter them, testing, making sure the timing is correct, storing in different data stores, and making sure they work correctly with different external providers. This took time and effort, and it was easy to make a mistake, causing incidents in production. We decided it's time to automate it. In this talk, I'd like to share how the Iron library and features from Scala 3 helped us build a solution which is safer, more robust, and easier to maintain.
This talk will be a quick introduction to the Unison "paradigm" and language, from the perspective of a long-standing Scala programmer.
In this talk, I'll look at the different uses to which tagless final is put to, and see what we can learn about when it is useful and when it just gets in the way.
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.
