Scala - where does the use make sense? from Mario Siegenthaler

Abstract

In the quest for greater agility and to break the often extremely long release cycles, many companies are moving their software landscape towards microservices with continuous delivery. With this development, it is no longer necessary for all services to be uniform; the most suitable technology can be used. in the context of my contribution, i will show for which areas of application scala is particularly suitable in my opinion. i will go into more detail about event-based domain driven design with scala and show possibilities how such a service can be integrated with already existing applications. finally, i will briefly discuss the operation; because scala is based on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a very high stability is guaranteed and existing operational know-how can be benefited from.
