John A. De Goes, Itamar Ravid and Adam Fraser (mini-Scala-conference)

Hello Scala Enthusiasts!

On the 24th of March at 7 pm UK time we are going to meet to listen to Itamar Ravid, John A. De Goes, and Adam Fraser.

=== Production-grade Microservices with ZIO by Itamar Ravid ===

These days, there are all sorts of boxes to check when deploying production-grade microservices. Our applications must be (reasonably!) performant and correct, but they must also be observable, resilient, and easily extensible. In this talk, Itamar will share from his experience in running microservices-based on ZIO in production: resilient, Kubernetes-friendly structuring; cloud-native observability with logs, metrics and telemetry, and modern ways of service communication.

=== How to Write Unmaintainable (But Wicked Fast!) Code on the JVM by John A. De Goes ===

In the majority of cases, developer productivity matters more than performance, and writing high-level code can help you ship code faster, with fewer defects and a lower cost of maintenance. When performance matters, however, as for low-latency or high-throughput applications, it really matters!

In this presentation, John A. De Goes, the architect of the ZIO library, gives you his top 3 techniques for writing low-level, high-performance code on the JVM. With simple explanations and plenty of code snippets, you'll be writing unmaintainable (but screaming fast!) code in no time!

=== What's Cooking in ZIO Test by Adam Fraser ===

ZIO Test has rapidly become the library-of-choice for testing ZIO-based applications. Built on ZIO and batteries-included, ZIO Test has shown a testing library can be powerful but also small, if it is compositional.

In this talk, Adam Fraser, the architect of ZIO Test, discusses how new developments in ZIO Test will provide simpler assertions, a more familiar way to build specs, and a way to share heavyweight dependencies like databases across test suites.
