Scalable Onboarding: Easing New Members into a Scala Codebase

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.

About This Talk

Onboarding new members into a mature codebase can be a non-trivial task. Especially that business documentation is usually a weakpoint, and requirements are ever changing. Furthermore whole functional stack can be a lot to digest for a person first interacting with Scala.

From Zero to Production Faster Than Your Average Meeting with Pillars

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.

Going structural with Named Tuples

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.
