Functional Platform Engineering with Scala and Pulumi

OBJECTIVES

The key objective here is to inform the audience about the possibilities available in regard to often disregarded (by functional programmers) area of devops engineering. I would like to invite my audience to widen their area of expertise and enable them to craft complete systems while still using their preferred functional idioms.

AUDIENCE

Any professional using functional programming that works in any area where infrastructure is a concern could be interested in my talk.

DESCRIPTION

In this talk, I will introduce a novel approach to building modern, cloud-native platforms using functional programming from the ground up. Utilizing the Scala SDK for Pulumi, codenamed Besom, I will demonstrate how one can construct a complete, production-grade system while staying within the safe and typeful confines of a functional programming language. Along the way, I'll illustrate how to leverage Scala's features to enhance maintainability, safety, and correctness across the stack. Finally, I will explore how this method opens up new possibilities in platform engineering, empowering functional programmers to dynamically deploy entire segments of infrastructure on demand, directly from their applications
