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 In this blog post, we will discuss about ZIO effect constructors and how we can use them. Then we’ll take a look at Effect constructors for pure computations and side-effecting computations. Zio Effect Constructors A functional effect is a template for a concurrent workflow. The template which is mostly descriptive in nature, used to test for any side effects. Such as database interaction, logging, data Continue Reading

Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog, we’ll talk about Standard ZIO Services and why it’s useful for us as programmers and how we can use them.Services provide well-defined interfaces that can be implemented differently in testing environments and production environments. Build-in services When we use the services we don’t need to provide their corresponding environment explicitly. ZIO provides built-in live version of ZIO services to our effects, so Continue Reading
