These days, there are all sorts of boxes to check when deploying production-grade microservices. Our applications must be (reasonably!) performant and correct, but they must also be observable, resilient, and easily extensible. In this talk, Itamar will share from his experience in running microservices-based on ZIO in production: resilient, Kubernetes-friendly structuring; cloud-native observability with logs, metrics and telemetry and modern ways of service communication.

In this talk, Adam will introduce ZIO Cache, a new library in the ZIO ecosystem that provides a drop in caching solution for ZIO applications. We will see how ZIO’s support for asynchrony and concurrent lets us implement a cache in terms of a single lookup function and how we get many other things such as typed errors and compositional caching policies for free. See how easy it can be to add caching to your ZIO application!

Scala 2.x has had a giant impact on the JVM, influencing both the Java programming language, and new languages like Kotlin, as well as the entire data ecosystem through highly successful projects like Spark and Kafka. Yet, the world is a very different than when Scala 2.x was created. Some features that were cutting-edge in 2006 are now mainstream in Java. Some features, like implicits, have been criticized for being too low-level and confusing. Enter Scala 3, a massive revision of the language nearing its first release candidate. In this presentation, John A. De Goes provides a compelling new vision of the future of the Scala programming language, showing how more than a decade of feedback and collaboration between industry and academia has yielded a powerful language with the features we need to build modern, cloud-native applications. Discover what your apps will look like on Scala 3!
