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.

In the dynamic landscape of Scala application development, the tendency to focus solely on internal intricacies often obscures a crucial aspect - how the application is perceived from the outside. By observing from a distance, we gain insights into how to enhance resilience, reliability, and overall performance, influencing how we implement our applications.
Questions arise: What's the startup time? Can I safely run 2 or more instances? How do I know if it works as expected? Can monitoring/tracing help? Does it shut down gracefully?
Join me in a talk where we will explore these questions and more, empowering you to build Scala applications that not only excel internally but also deliver optimal experiences from an external perspective.
In this talk, we will demonstrate some elegant applications of functional programming in Scala, with even more elegant visual results - all with live code and real-time output.
This talk aims to equip the audience with the minimum required bagage to get comfortable working with contravariance.
The talk explores the recursive structure of Diamond Architecture.
In this beginner-friendly talk we'll try to find out using the power of Scala and functional programming techniques.
This talk is my slightly expanded version of that statement, and should hopefully understand what "Free" is, what purpose it serves and where it came from.
