WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Most agencies offer Scala as a line item. We built our company on it.

We've been writing Scala since the beginning. We contribute to the open source ecosystem, ZIO Elasticsearch, Linthaal, scurl-detector, scountries. We run Scala community events. Our engineers go deep on functional programming because it's how we think, not because a client asked for it.

What's changed is how we work. With AI agents handling boilerplate, test scaffolding, and documentation, our Scala engineers spend more time on system design, functional architecture, and the decisions that determine whether a backend holds up at scale. The quality bar is the same. The pace is faster.

WHAT WE BUILD

What we build with Scala.

Scalable Backend Systems

High-throughput, fault-tolerant backends built on ZIO, Akka, or Cats. Built to scale. Built to be maintained by the next team.

Microservices Architecture

We design and implement microservice systems for teams moving off a monolith or building distributed from the start.

Functional Programming at Scale

Pure functional codebases that are easier to reason about, test, and change. We apply functional programming principles not as a style preference but because they reduce bugs and make complex systems manageable.

Data Processing Pipelines

Event-driven pipelines using Kafka and ZIO Streams. Built for the data volumes that make traditional approaches break.

Team Extension

We embed Scala engineers into your existing team. Same standards, same codebase, no ramp-up period. A dedicated team can be ready in two weeks.

HOW AGENTIC DEVELOPMENT CHANGES SCALA WORK

More time for the hard parts.

Scala development has always rewarded engineers who can focus. Functional design, effect system choices, algebraic data modeling, these take thought. What takes time without adding value: test boilerplate, documentation structure, routine refactoring patterns.

Our engineers work with AI agents that handle the repeatable layer. That means more engineering time on the work that determines whether your system is correct, composable, and maintainable. Less time on the scaffolding around it.

The output is the same quality Scala you'd expect from a team that cares about the language. Just more of it.

OPEN SOURCE

We contribute to the Scala ecosystem because we use it seriously.

ZIO Elasticsearch

A ZIO-native client for Elasticsearch. Type-safe, composable, production-tested.

github.com/lambdaworks/zio-elasticsearch
Linthaal

A Graph-of-Thoughts multi-agent AI library for computational biology, built on ZIO.

github.com/lambdaworks/linthaal
scurl-detector

URL detection in Scala, used in production content pipelines.

github.com/lambdaworks/scurl-detector
scountries

ISO country data as Scala types.

github.com/lambdaworks/scountries

These projects exist because we needed them. They're evidence of how we approach the language.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Need Scala expertise?

Teams with existing Scala systems

You need to scale a team, modernize an architecture, or add capability without hiring. We embed engineers who can read the codebase and contribute from day one.

Teams evaluating Scala for a new system

You're weighing Scala against alternatives and want an honest technical assessment. We've shipped enough Scala in production to tell you where it's the right call and where it isn't.

Enterprises with legacy JVM systems

You have a Java or older Scala codebase and a modernization mandate. We run the diagnostic, build the roadmap, and pilot the modernization before committing to the full rewrite.

FAQ

Common questions about Scala development.

Our engineering practice was built around Scala from the start. We contribute to the open source ecosystem, organize community events, and apply functional programming principles across our entire backend practice. It's not a skill we added to a list, it's how we build.

Both, depending on the problem. ZIO is our default for new projects that need composable, testable effect handling. Akka suits distributed actor systems and event-sourced architectures. We make the recommendation based on your system's specific requirements, not a default preference.

Yes. We've extended and modernized existing Scala systems across different versions and frameworks. The first step is a codebase review to understand the architecture, existing patterns, and constraints before we start contributing.

A dedicated team can be assembled and onboarded in as little as two weeks. For augmentation engagements, it's faster, engineers embed directly into your existing process.

Boilerplate generation, test scaffolding, and documentation are where agents add speed in a Scala codebase. Our engineers review and own all architecture decisions, type design, and effect system choices. Nothing architectural goes through a model without an engineer's judgment.
