Ask HN: Tutorials for building services in Scala?

1 points by mattkohl 8y ago ↗ HN

I'm currently working on a team who are building microservices with Java and Python, and lately we've talked about introducing Scala.

For my part, I've benefitted a lot from the Python community's many great tutorials on building apps with Flask, Django, etc., and I'm wondering if there are analogues in the Scala world. Could any of you recommend resources for learning to build services in Scala?

Try to start by reading docs of Play framework. Play has the easiest migration path from Django, Flask that others (it also has a list of tutorials, examples https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/Tutorials).

Frameworks/toolkits like Akka, Finagle, Lagom very different from usual python things, therefore try some of it later.
