From 1 to 100k users: Lessons learned from scaling a Haskell app - Felix Miño | Lambda Days 2024

Conference: Lambda Days 2024

Year: 2024

✨ This talk was recorded at Lambda Days in June 2024. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://lambdadays.org ✨ Abstract While scaling applications is a perpetual challenge, there are specific hurdles unique to scaling Haskell applications. Join me in exploring the intricacies involved in this process, uncovering lessons from faced challenges, implementing ingenious solutions, and ongoing optimizations toward a 10x scaling goal. Our exploration will traverse critical domains, from fine-tuning database performance to pinpointing bottlenecks and rectifying inefficient data structures. In the realm of Haskell's memory management, we'll address its reputation for leaks and reconsider the laziness paradigm, discovering situations where adopting strictness boosts performance. Let’s explore the dynamic world of software scaling! Let's keep in touch!
