We have two great talks lined up for this event.

Scala 3, what does it means for me? By Joan Goyeau

Weve all heard about Dotty or Scala 3 either through Martin Oderskys great talks or features listing on Dottys website. This sounds like a big change but how will it affect me as a Scala user in my day to day development?

Here at Netflix we are processing millions of events per second with Scala, so weve hit a few corner cases of the language that often end up in complicated & boilerplate workarounds that new features in Scala 3 are believed to be solving.

Please join this talk to see what the future of the Scala landscape looks like for you & discuss your own compilation stories.

Scaling up ML Experimentation at Tubi 5x & Beyond By Alexandros Bantis

The Tubi.tv streaming app (https://tubitv.com/) is installed on over 50 million mobile & OTT devices. To meet the needs of a fast-growing audience Tubi is enabling rapid machine learning (ML) experimentation using Scala.

Ranking Service serves pre-computed personalization requests. It is a critical component of our next-generation machine learning services that has helped ramp up our rate of experimentation by 5x. It's built with Scala/Akka, ScalaPB, Kinesis, ScyllaDB, & has experimentation support built into the domain model.

This presentation will discuss some of the challenges, motivations & experiences related to this project.
