✨ This talk was recorded at Lambda Days in June 2024. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://lambdadays.org ✨ Abstract 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 Let's keep in touch!
