Making functional programming business oriented. Time for ZIO.

Scale fast with Scalac

Why you should choose ZIO in your next project. Benefits of functional programming in ZIO In this episode, you will find out why the principles of Scala should be applied everywhere. Mat Gren, Head of Business at Scalac, and Zuka Kakabadze, CTO at Fugo, talk about the business benefits of using functional programming and, most importantly, ZIO - Type-safe, composable asynchronous and concurrent programming for Scala. Fugo is a #startup that chose functional programming and ZIO to scale its #MVP. See what the business reasons behind this decision were. Also, find out why it's a great approach to think longterm. To think about Scalability from day one and build your scalable MVP in Scala.

Here's a quick preview of the topics we'll cover in the episode:

• Why did Zuka (Fugo.ai) decide to completely rewrite their project - the challenge of scaling the MVP Zuka (Fugo.ai) decided to choose #Scala. The business rationale behind this decision (+ Haskell vs. Scala)
  
• Fugo.ai goes all in. They decided not only to choose Functional Programming in Scala - they decided to use #ZIO, the new library in the ecosystem. Learn why.
  
• ZIO vs. Akka, Scala Z, and other Scala frameworks. The road from Akka to ZIO
  
• Finding a sweet-spot between Functional and Object-Oriented Programming. How Functional you want to go?
  
• The primary business benefits of ZIO
  
• Hiring new team members - how ZIO makes it easier because it "forces" developers to be functional
  
• Pure Scala vs. ZIO - how ZIO makes it easier to onboard new people. More business approach to Functional Programming
  
• The switch from a scientific approach to a business one
  
• When to use Scala - for what type of projects it's best?
  
• Why Scala is best for… start-ups. It allows you to build and iterate high-quality software quickly.
  
• Less Scala developers on the market in comparison to other technologies - no problem!
  
• Choosing Scala - ZIO, you need fewer developers to do the job.
  
• The benefits of using GraphQL in your project
  
• The right approach to building MVP
