Functional Platform Engineering with Scala and Pulumi - Łukasz Biały | Lambda Days 2024

CodeSync · April 20, 2025, 1:00pm

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
