No Need for NIH: Leveraging the Typelevel Stack in the Enterprise

There’s a joke that a framework is a product with the business logic removed, but all the assumptions left in. In this talk we’ll explore an alternative: solving the most common enterprise issues with the composable ecosystem of Typelevel libraries, avoiding not-invented-here (NIH) and lock-in.

We’ve been involved in many enterprise projects, and have seen many recurring patterns implemented in an ad-hoc, fragile way. At the same time, and more often than not, any custom libraries rapidly develop “bit-rot”, creating a maintenance burden. Instead we can be brave! We can avoid the sunk-cost fallacy by refactoring and retooling using powerful and composable abstractions. We can also trust we are reducing our risk because of the high quality of these open source projects.

We’ll dive deep into how to use the Typelevel stack to handle common tasks like data validation, integration with data sources and sinks, the modeling of actions associated with state machines, and more. We’ll be using libraries like cats, cats-effect, refined, and more, to fix and extend existing systems to be more powerful, safer, and ultimately more maintainable.
