5 TIPS TO BUILD LONG-LASTING SCALA OSS by Kazuhiro Sera

even years ago, I started ScalikeJDBC, one of the popular database libraries in Scala. After years, I am still working on it. In the meantime, the Scala community has been growing sharply. Despite the growth of the community, we haven't seen the increase in long-lasting OSS projects yet. In this talk, I will share pieces of my knowledge learned through my experiences with OSS.

The 5 tips I will share in this talk are

1. Find your lifework project
2. Be careful about adding Scala dependencies
3. Stick with binary compatibility
4. Provide cross builds
5. Have effective CI builds

If you'd like to know more about the tips, this talk is for you.

BUILDING A DATA PLATFORM USING SCALA, AKKA & APACHE BEAM

Transitioning a monolithic system to one which leverages the cloud and re-arming the current data team to leverage it. The presentation will cover architecture, the use of Scala, Akka and Apache Beam.
