Scala Developers in Ukraine

Over the past years functional programming is getting progressively across the board in the IT industry. This trend is driven by the appropriation of Scala as the central programming language for a big number of applications. Scala is a multi-paradigm language which combines functional and object-oriented programming in a practical set. Scala has emerged as one of the most powerful Java alternatives in recent times.

 

 

Labor Market Data

According to recent statistics (2019-2020), there are only 1,1% of Scala Developers on the IT market. This can be explained by the complexity of Scala language, moreover, there is a well-known fact that a poor number of developers start their career with Scala. Quite often Scala is an additional language as software engineers have previous programming experience. Usually, Scala Developers are proficient in Java or C#, less frequently with other programming languages, that’s why most of the Scala developers on the market have Senior level and work as a Team or Tech Leads.

The frameworks such as  Apache Spark, Kafka, Akka, Lift, Play are implemented with Scala.The most popular of them among Scala developers are Play and Akka. Usually Akka is used for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM. At the same time, Play is suitable for web applications since it can provide predictable and minimal resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads) for highly-scalable applications.

Talking about cloud services, as a rule most of the Scala Developers use AWS during the development process of applications (especially with microservices architecture). The most preferable database management system among Scala Developers is MySQL, however many of them also use MongoDB.
