Functional Web APIs in Practice

Explore functional programming concepts for building robust web APIs in this 54-minute conference talk by Gabriel Bornea at Devoxx. Dive into practical techniques for enhancing performance, validation, testing, concurrency, and dependency injection without relying on framework "magic." Learn how to leverage the Kotlin compiler and Arrow.kt library to create more predictable and error-resistant programs. Discover methods for accurately describing business domains, preventing bugs through compile-time error discovery, and simplifying unit testing by reducing the need for mocks. Gain insights into designing APIs that are both efficient and maintainable using functional programming principles.
