Promise vs Observable in Angular

Scala

Lagom 1.4: Response compression | GZip Encoding

Best Practices, Java, Microservices, Scala

In the previous blog, we discussed response compression using GZip filter for Lagom 1.3. Here, we will go over the steps we use to add similar response compression in Lagom 1.4. The steps remain the same with minor changes due to underlying changes that came as Lagom upgraded from Play 2.5 to Play 2.6. Step 1: The code The first step is to write the Continue Reading

ScalaFP: Let’s Find The Reasons Behind Monads.

Functional Programming, Scala, , , , ,

Monads in Functional Programming play an important role but they mostly confuse the beginners.
