Title
Jason Swartz, Thinking Functionally with Databases
Abstract
As developers using a functional programming language, we embrace immutable collections and pure functions in our code. However, we often have separate rules for how we work with our persistent collections in databases. In this talk we'll look at why & how to take a more functional approach to persistence with databases, from managing the connections, using immutable table rows, and considering event-source persistence.
