Social Networking with Scala

Stream is the leader in powering feeds, notifications systems and activity streams for some of the worlds most popular social media networks. Scala powers much of the Twitter infrastructure and if you're looking to create similar scalable feeds, Stream activity feeds as a service and Scala are a great combo for your app.

Working with the Stream API in the Scala language

The Scala language combines object-oriented with functional language features and runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It has grown in popularity over the years as it is considered a concise and enjoyable language to code with.

For web development two popular frameworks are Play and Scalatra. With Scala running on the JVM, well designed applications are ready for mission-critical production applications at enterprise scale. Furthermore, hosting options are plentiful with Heroku, Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services being obvious choices.
