Reading Time: 8 minutes In this blog, we will implement an application using Connect Lib and gRPC. First, we will understand what Connect Library is and its basic example followed by the types of protocols in connect Scala. Finally, we will see the steps needed to implement the application using Connect in Scala and in that section we will see what is gRPC, what is gRPC gateway, and how Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes What is ZIO : ZIO is a cutting-edge framework for creating cloud-native JVM applications. ZIO enables developers to construct best-practice applications that are extremely scalable, tested, robust, resilient, resource-safe, efficient, and observable thanks to its user-friendly yet strong functional core. Difference between Akka and ZIO : Akka and ZIO are both the libraries in Scala for building concurrent, scalable, and fault-tolerant applications. Akka is a Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Our previous blog on http4s gives us an introduction to the library to create HTTP routes, servers and clients. Using the library’s support for various libraries like Ember, Blaze, we can create any type of server and/or client. The library also provides for other libraries for easy encoding/decoding of request and response body using circe, scala-xml, and fs2-data. Ultimately, the heart of the library lies Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Introduction to Streaming Why do we really need streaming? We can understand the same with the following example. Suppose we have a list of integers and we want to get all the prime numbers and do some further computation on that. In the typical application, we will use ZIO.foreachParN But when we are using the above method we will have two problems:- One Is High Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes What are implicit classes? Implicit classes are a feature that allow you to extend the functionality of existing types by adding new methods. They are defined using the implicit keyword and have a single constructor parameter. We can use these class as if they belong to the original type without having to perform explicit type conversion. Implicit classes are particularly useful for adding utility methods Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes What is ZIO: ZIO is a library for Scala programming language that provides a pure, composable, and type-safe approach to error handling and asynchronous programming. ZIO provides a lot of tools for developers to write applications in a clean, concise, and functional manner. Zlayer is a module in ZIO that provides abstractions for building and composing modular applications. In this blog, we’ll explore the basics Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes It all began in 2012 when the first commit for Scala 3 was made and it was decided to base Scala 3 on DOT. What is DOT? Before we go further into the story, let’s get to know about DOT. DOT, an abbreviation for Dependent Object Types, is a new type-theoretic calculus which models path-dependent types, abstract type members, and it creates a mixture of Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Scala 3 is a remodel/refit for the scala language. It attracts developers due to its improved features such as simpler syntax, better type inference, improved error messages, and enhanced support for functional programming. In this article, we will compare the syntactical enhancement of Scala 2 & Scala 3. How indentation will help developers to write code efficiently and effortlessly. Control Structures Scala 3 has a Continue Reading
Reading Time: 5 minutes Introduction In this article, we will compare the List and Vector data structures in Scala and analyze the pros and cons of using them in different use cases. As we all know List is the most popular data structure in scala and quite simply the most beginner friendly of Scala Collections. But is it the obvious choice for all if not most cases? Let us Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Introduction In modern day there are a lot of companies implementing digital payment systems on their website to make easy and secure payment processes for customers.There are a lot of payment methods available. Here is the list of payment methods: As an organization you need to be careful while choosing your payment gateway. There are some factors before choosing the correct option. Here is the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog post, we will discuss ZIO fibers and how we can use them. We will also get a quick overview of operations on ZIO fibers. Concurrency in ZIO ZIO is a highly concurrent framework powered by fibers, which are lightweight virtual threads that enable huge scalability when compared to threads, reinforced with resource-safe cancellation, which supports several features in ZIO. This robust concurrency Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes In this blog, we will read about pattern matching in Scala followed by various types of patterns in match expressions. What is Pattern Matching? Pattern matching in Scala is a powerful mechanism of checking a value against a pattern. Thus, we match a value against a pattern and a successful match deconstructs the value into its constituent parts to be used further. While providing the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi folks, In this blog, we will write HTTP server + client code which calls the below external API using Scala and play framework Project Setup We must install the SBT command-line tool (at least JDK 8). In this blog, we’re using SBT version 1.7.1 to install Play Framework version 2.8.1. Step 1: First, we need to add some dependencies in the build.sbt file. Step Continue Reading
