Friction-less scala - Tell us what is causing friction in your day-to-day life with Scala
I've had great experience with ScalaPB and even better with fs2-grpc (which builds on top of ScalaPB).

Working with polymorphic data models in a REST API
One way I've solved this is to use Protobuf contracts to serialize json with ScalaPB. They have a way implementing oneof that keeps each object individual and separate. Even if you don't decide to use PB, you can take some inspiration from the implementation.

Scala 3.0 serialization
You could try out protocol buffers. Not sure how stable it is, but I noticed they have a Scala3 version of their runtime library. (Disclaimer: I have not tried it out myself)

Open Table Formats Such as Apache Iceberg Are Inevitable for Analytical Data
Apache AVRO [1] is one but it has been largely replaced by Parquet [2] which is a hybrid row/columnar format

How do you update an existing avro schema using apache avro SchemaBuilder?
I am testing a new schema registry which loads and retrieves different kinds of avro schemas. In the process of testing, I need to create a bunch of different types of avro schemas. As it involves a lot of permutations, I decided to create the schema programmatically.I am using the apache avro SchemaBuilder to do so.

gRPC on the client side
Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:

tl;dr of Data Contracts
Once things like JSON became more popular Apache Avro appeared. You can define Avro files which can then be generated into Python, Java C, Ruby, etc.. classes.

Events: Fat or Thin?
Supporting multiple versions of an event schema is a solved problem. Apache Avro with a published schema hash in a message header is one solution.
