Name: #13 [ENG] Scala Native and Nix & Handling large datasets with Redis
Start: 2024-12-11T18:00:00+01:00

Location: WędrówkiPub - Wrocławski Klub Eventowy

It's getting colder, so it's a perfect time to join next iteration of Wrocław Scala User Group in the cozy Wędrówki Pub. The event will be again held in English.

The second talk will mostly concentrate on Redis, though the system is written in Scala, but we hope it will shed some light on what are the real live problems of Scala developers.

Check out the details. ⬇️

🎙️‘Handling Large Data Sets with Redis help: Lessons from a Production-Grade Application‘ - Piotr Kukła

Redis is often seen as a straightforward key-value data store, but its robust data structures make it capable of modeling even complex domains. We leveraged this versatility to cache preprocessed car configuration data — encompassing thousands of specific rule entries — significantly enhancing the speed and scalability of massive SAT solver computations on our on-premises clusters. Join us as we dive into how we designed and implemented an efficient, resilient, and scalable distributed caching layer using Redis.

🎙️‘Scala Native & Nix - a match made in heaven??‘ - Jakub Kozłowski

Scala on the JVM has many conveniences that we sometimes take for granted - the portability of classfiles can make you oblivious to the complexity of the bare metal... but you can quickly disillusion yourself by trying Scala Native!

Using native libraries, cross-compiling to different architectures, distribution... just the beginning of problems that we have to solve anew.
Thankfully, there are decent solutions to some of these problems, and I'm going to try and convince you that Nix solves all of them - in this talk, I'll go over my experience building a Scala Native app interacting with native libraries (e.g. `hidapi`), and how Nix helped me with these struggles.
