This presentation describes the development of a financial middleware that internationally connects several ERP systems (Navision and SAP) to a cloud-based invoicing solution.
The world of financial ERP integration is a curious landscape, with high-tech startup hilltops, dotting vast valleys which are seemingly still celebrating the discovery of the wheel. An added complexity is that every financial valley and hilltop has their own language and idea of what constitutes an "invoice" or "order". Combined with communication roads often being closed, integration can be a challenge indeed.
This presentation describes the development of a financial middleware that internationally connects several ERP systems (Navision and SAP) to a cloud-based invoicing solution. Both the invoicing service and the ERP systems pose integration challenges, due to a combination of API mismatches and stability issues. Still, a goal of this middleware was to provide added value by having a useful financial representation across all countries.
A solution was found in careful application of existing data model standards for electronic business documents (UBL), forming an Anti-Corruption Layer as known from Domain-Driven Design, which allows the middleware to present a more straightforward, and reliable, integration target than the invoicing service can. This also allowed for an increased separation of concerns, allowing integration decisions for the ERP systems to reside in different components.
The middleware is developed in Scala, using Akka and ZIO as underlying frameworks, exposing a streaming REST API. It is demonstrated how ZIO's advanced type system has helped prevent classes of errors. Kafka is used as intermediary storage. The system running in production processes over 1000 invoices per day across 6 countries.
I propose that we can extend Mirrors to operations, and use the most natural DSL of all - plain trait definitions.
Join me in a talk empowering you to build Scala applications that not only excel internally but also deliver optimal experiences from an external perspective.
Drawing on 25 years of experience as a professional musician and record producer, this will be a beginner focused talk introducing the use of Scala.js and the web audio api for building Scala powered Web Audio Applications.
We managed to alleviate almost entirely the slowdown induced by Tapir in a web socket server. The journey towards this goal was quite insightful, and we would like to share it with you.
In this session, I will guide you through two recent additions to Ox that I helped implement: channel operators and retries.
In this talk, we will start with the basics, understanding what build caching is and why it can be a bit tricky to handle in real projects.
