Datomic is a brand new kind of database. Queries runs on the client/app, not on the database server. It writes data to other databases, instead of implementing its own storage engine. It has a completely different API for reads vs. writes. And it’s single threaded (and, believe it or not, this is an amazing idea). This will be a quick …

There are a lot of parts of the puzzle like typelevel/cats, typelevel/cats-effect, category theory, etc, but, unfortunately, there is no defined complete approach to do that. I am going to put all together and provide a set of rules for writing such kind of applications. Firstly, we are going to abstract over a container, …

Nowadays everything becomes smart at home, smart lights, smart thermostats, smart washing machines and even a smart coffee machine! Every device has its own manufacturer, protocol and API. To get a central monitoring dashboard, we will use Akka to collect different measurements and store them in InfluxDB to be visualised with Grafana. During this talk we will show you how …

I see a big potential in this project …

But what if you had only 5 developers, 10000+ data structures and only a few months to ship your project? Let me show …
