【Choosing the Right Technology for the Right Situation】
Example: Adopting Scala
The application is being micro-serviced in order to respond quickly to the rapid expansion of the service. This allows us to choose the most suitable language and architecture for each service, and Scala has been adopted for services where robustness is particularly important.
As an example, they are using Scala2.13, Akka HTTP, ScalikeJDBC, and ScalaTest to develop a SIM management service. While Scala is a statically typed language, it can be written in a simple way without redundancy by using type inference and higher-order functions, and at the same time, it benefits from compile-time type checking, which makes refactoring very easy and comfortable.
