About this Session
How to write a backend application in Scala? Which libraries to pick? There's a couple of possibilities, and choosing can be overwhelming!
In the talk I'd like to present one approach and one set of libraries. During the live-coding session, we'll create from scratch a basic application, taking advantage of:
- tapir with http4s for exposing http endpoints
- doobie for database access
- monix with cats-effect for managing side-effects
Along the way, we'll see both practical benefits of functional programming, and features of the libraries used. Come and see how to do functional Scala in 2020 (and beyond)!

I am one of the co-founders of SoftwareMill, where I code mainly using Scala and other interesting technologies. I am involved in open-source projects, such as sttp, tapir, Quicklens, ElasticMQ and others. I have been a speaker at major conferences, such as JavaOne, LambdaConf, Devoxx and ScalaDays.
Apart from writing closed- and open-source software, in my free time I try to read the Internet on various (functional) programming-related subjects. Any ideas or insights usually end up with a blog
