Abstracts & bios:
"How to save time by letting Scala ecosystem work for you", Marcin Krykowski
So in this talk we will dive into how we can employ Scala web libraries to help us achieve more by doing less.
We'll have a look at how can we type our endpoints, consume JSONs, expose endpoints with some metrics and have self written documentation on top of what. All that with testable and functional code.
Your microservices will never be the same!

Marcin Krykowski: seasoned software engineer specializing in distributed systems, functional programming, data-driven systems, and ML. Worked for various clients across industries like FinTech, Telco, AdTech, and Healthcare. On the mission to empower the Scala community. During my free time trying to connect 20+ years of being a professional athlete and entrepreneurship.

"Typesafe techniques for better sleep at night", Michał Pawlik
You are having a good night's sleep and suddenly your phone rings. You wake up and jump to your feet thinking it’s an incident report, but after a second you calm down because you know that it was only one of those “you won a lottery” texts. Thanks to the latest techniques you have implemented, everything is under control. You fall asleep happy that your smart work during the day lets you sleep safe during the night.Of course, we will not predict everything but during my talk, I'll share a handful of techniques that can help you avoid runtime errors and shift them to the realm of compile time. We'll talk about Scala, refined types and a declarative approach to HTTP endpoints using Tapir.

Michał Pawlik: I have over a decade of experience as a software engineer and open source software developer.
Recently, I've been concentrating on functional programming and making it easier for others to grasp this paradigm.
I am currently employed by Ocado Technology, where I am creating warehouse automation systems in Scala.
