Disaster case
DB migration Service 1 Service 2 Service 3
UI update Load to DBX New db in AWS Another

Pain #2. Libraries migration
Scala chapter
From Pants to SBT
Dif f iculties Unexpected build behaviour Shared code in libraries
Embedded libraries
What worked Scala chapter as space for discussions Teams capacity
planning (roadmaps) Blocked tasks with the update
Pain #3. Scala versions
2.12 Versioning nightmare 2.11 2.13
Dif f iculties Capacity planning Shared libraries between teams Different

What worked Ongoing initiative in the roadmap Teams collaboration Constant
review of the versions update
Pain #4. Pipelines evolution
Get deprecated and die Continue to live and rot Pipelines
EOL
40% pipelines deprecated Other 40% rewritten or planned to Pipelines
EOL
Data evolution
Infrastructure evolution
What worked Careful planning Space for research Review of the
business/tech needs
Pain #5. Onboarding newcomers
Full Stack to Scala engineer Scala book Scala course First
tasks Success!
Dif f iculties Scala environment Diverse tech Different coding styles
Lack of documentation
Full Stack to Scala engineer Scala book Scala course First
small f ixes In progress Refactoring Metrics and alerts creation
Prevention mechanisms Unification of approaches Constant code base updates Extensive
documentation Space for asking questions
Conclusions
Conclusions Team collaboration matters Engineering wide initiatives speed up changes
Tech debt directly affects performance Documentation is the key
Thank you for attention!
