The Way of the Request

The Play Framework is a web application framework for Scala and Java inspired by Ruby on Rails. Although I like the official documentation, I always found it lacking in how requests runs through the framework. This article takes the reader on a journey tracing a request through the framework.

Die Top 5 der Neuerungen in Scala 3

Schon seit geraumer Zeit arbeitet das Team um Martin Odersky an der nächsten großen Version von Scala. Deren Spitzname „Dotty“ leitet sich ab von „Dependent Object Types“, dem logischen Kalkül, welches dem Typsystem zugrunde liegt. Doch es gibt nicht nur Verbesserungen in den Eingeweiden des Compilers. Die aktuell in der Release-Candidate-Phase befindliche Vorschau auf Scala 3 verspricht, das Programmiererlebnis deutlich zu verbessern.

Functional Service in Scala

Functional programming helps programmers to reason about their codebase using referential transparency and side-effect control principles. Let’s push the limit and make pure-functional REST service using IO Monad from Cats-Effect project. First, we will do that using Akka-HTTP library and standard Scala Future as effect type. Afterwards, we will switch to abstract effect F to have a choice, when it comes to run our embedded program.

Docker images for developers

Docker seems to be all the rage lately. There are docker talks at every conference, hosting Docker containers has become a hosting option with most if not all PaaS providers, and there is hardly a technology left that is not supposed to run better and more flexibly if you wrap it in a Docker container. Well, except maybe for enterprise-level DBMSs, but you can’t have them all. This post provides an example how Docker can be used at the start of the software lifecycle, during development.
