In this talk, I'll walk you through how workflows4s works, how it stands apart from tools like Temporal or Camunda, and why it just might be the better approach for modern, event-driven applications.
Tired of relying on bulky 3rd-party servers for managing workflows or building lightweight but ad-hoc solutions yourself? Imagine a library that offers a declarative, composable API and that requires only a database to run. Let me introduce you to workflows4s, a proof-of-concept state-of-the-art library solves the problem of long running stateful processes and builds on top of Scala 3 and principles of functional programming.

During the talk, we’ll build a small effect system using solely Scala 3 context functions step-by-step.
I will demonstrate how Pillars can take you from zero to production in record time. By leveraging Pillars’ integration of well-known libraries, you can bypass the usual complexities of setting up observability (traces, metrics, and logs), database access, API calls, and feature flag management.
Scala 3.6 stabilises the Named Tuples proposal in the main language. It gives us new syntax for structural types and values, and tools for programmatic manipulation of structural types without macros. Can we, and should we, push it to the limit? Of course! let's explore DSL's for config, data, and scripting, for a more dynamic feel.
Case study. Summary of over a year of experience building AWS lambdas using Scala 3, scala-cli, and GraalVM. Presentation of the open-sourced library providing custom lambda runtime developed for that purpose.
