Database abstraction library which allows a clean domain model
Using Circe so I define some classes that contain my custom Encoder[BusinessObject] in a file and I use that whenever I want to save/store a record, or handle a web request or respose. I also represent my mongo queries as JSON objects that I can freely build then pass to the driver.

What companies/startups are using Scala (open source projects on github)?
Circe adopters should be using Scala https://github.com/circe/circe

what popular companies uses Scala?
If you look at Circe's github repo you will see a very large list of very recognizable companies, that should give you some idea. Circe isn't the ONLY Json parsing library, but it is probably the most popular, so - should give you a rough idea of the types and variety of companies using Scala.

Every time I sit down to use an HTTP client and JSON parser, I get really frustrated
Has the worst error messages I've ever seen for a parser. "Attempt to decode value on failed cursor" is not helpful when all you have is missing fields. Has been an issue for 5 years.

spray-json - A lightweight, clean and simple JSON implementation in Scala
argonaut - Purely functional JSON parser and library in scala.
zio-json - Fast, secure JSON library with tight ZIO integration.
