Deploying a full stack Scala application on fly.io

A while back, I was happy to discover that Heroku allowed one to host, completely for free, a small application on their dynos. Recently, though, I was less happy to learn that they were decommissioning them, so that people were asked to update to paid plans. Fortunately, one alternative immediately…

Cross-Platform Mobile dev with Scala and Capacitor

These last years, the trend has been to export web technologies out of the browser, into the desktop (e.g., electron) and more and more into Mobile Applications (e.g., Ionic). Whether or not we like this trend, it is in any case a bargain for any technology that can produce HTML…

“If” statements at compile time

A while ago, I watched a talk from Netflix from the Scala days 2019, and the speaker Jeremy Smith said that a Scala program is actually made of two programs. The one that everybody knows, but also the one which happens at “compile time”. When we (at least I) think…

Deploying a full stack Scala application on Heroku

Not so long ago I was thinking “how is it not possible in 2020 to have a free (crappy) host for a JVM based server with a (potentially also crappy) database?”. And then I discovered Heroku. Heroku gives you the opportunity to host for free a server with a small…

How I discovered the DummyImplicit (in Scala)

Recently we stumbled on a problem that at first glance looks particularly simple: overload a method for a `List[String]` and a `List[Int]`. One could expect that simply writing def foo(ls: List[String]): Unit = ??? def foo(ls: List[Int]): Unit = ??? would do the trick, the same way as we would…

A little bit of Data Science in Scala

It is stating the obvious to say that nowadays, Data Science (DS) is dominated by python (with R being a decent challenger). It is however arguably not the best for Data Engineering (1), where more robust languages such as Scala tend to shine more. As we shall see, though, Scala…

How Type Variance fits into Category Theory

If you’re not a mathematician, you’ve probably never heard of Category Theory. Even if you are one, it is such a niche field of mathematics that you may not have studied it. Category Theory tries to unify all algebraic structures to better understand their differences. On the other hand, if…
