The list is quite dynamic, as we often have to learn new things, so if something of your interest isn’t on the list, contact us and we’ll let you know what our experience in that area is.

Scala is our language of choice. Adam Warski, our CTO explained it well once: Scala is especially well suited for certain problem domains (but not all!). The biggest strength of Scala is its flexibility in defining abstractions. There’s a number of basic building blocks at our disposal; sometimes defining an abstraction is as simple as using a class, methods, and lambdas; sometimes an implicit parameter has to be used, or an extension method; in rare cases, there’s a need to resort to a macro. However, the options are there.

Hence, Scala works great when there’s a need to navigate a complex domain. Distributed and concurrent programming is one example. Parallelism is very tricky to get right and Scala offers a number of libraries that make this task easier by building abstractions. There are two main approaches: an actor-based, represented by Akka, and an FP-based one, represented by Monix/cats-effect and Scalaz/ZIO (if you’d like to read more about how these compare, our CTO’s written a series of articles on this subject).

But of course that’s not the only possible domain. Modelling typical business applications can also be taken to another level, using the available Scala features. Here, however, the complexity is of a different kind. With distributed systems, the complexity was technical. With business applications, the complexity is in the problem domain itself.

Moreover, we don’t just use Scala; we actively support and grow the Scala community. SoftwareMill is the proud organizer of Scalar, the premier Scala conference in Central Europe.

SoftwareMill is a parto of the VirtusLab Group - a consortium of innovative technology companies dedicated to delivering advanced software solutions and services. Together, we are the largest Scala development company that provides +150 Scala engineers to the market. The vast majority of our experts are seniors with many years of experience in a wide range of industries.

Yes, of course! During the sales process, our business development team arranges tech calls where we introduce carefully matched software engineers to your specific needs. These calls provide an opportunity for you to discuss technical requirements, ask questions, and get a feel for how our experts approach problem-solving. In fact, in about 80% of cases, the engineers you meet during these early discussions form the foundation of your dedicated project team. It ensures a smooth transition from initial conversations to project execution, with developers who already understand your vision and objectives.

Yes, you’re welcome to bring your developers on the technical call.

Plus, we are always eager to talk about programming and the software world. You can approach us via hello@softwaremill.com, write to us on Slack AMA, or simply say hi on various IT events we actively participate in.
