The power of full stack Scala: lessons learnt from building an ML platform [Scala Days 2025]

"By integrating these tools into a cohesive, type-safe environment, we've created an ecosystem that is both developer-friendly and production-ready, allowing us to move fast without sacrificing consistency or robustness."

"What makes this journey even more interesting is that one of us started as a Scala beginner and was able to contribute to backend code from day one."

"We'll talk about the architectural patterns that worked for us (and the ones that didn't) and the challenges we faced."

"If you're curious about full-stack development in Scala, or want inspiration for building real-world ML platforms, we'll show you what's possible when the whole stack speaks the same language."

NuMind developed a full-stack Scala platform for machine learning tools, integrating various technologies like Ox, Tapir, and Laminar. This ecosystem is developer-friendly and production-ready, allowing rapid development without compromising on consistency. A beginner in Scala contributed effectively from the start, showcasing the platform's approachability. The experience includes insights on architectural patterns, challenges faced, and the advantages of using Scala for full-stack development, emphasizing the benefits of a unified language across the stack.
