scala-webapp-template VS cazadescuentos

I'm also working on improving our template to provide a better developer experience (https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/307).

Ticket: https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/294

After thinking for a bit, I got to the conclusion that Vercel's preview environments are not really hard to implement. Then, I put my hands into this and created an integration for one of our projects: https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/pull/299

You can also check out our template which uses Scala.js + Slinky + Mui.

https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template does something very similar with akka-stream but it is tied to send emails on the background, it seems that we can easily extend it to support arbitrary jobs (https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template/issues/294). What is not so simple to do with such a schema is to distribute the jobs in many servers.

Given this, I wonder if you have ever worked with Ansible, if so, you could pick these playbooks to deploy to a ubuntu server, these playbooks are pretty generic for Scala apps, you will need to update the build/run script, everything else is already handled (like uploading the app to a server, creating users, registering a systemd service, etc).

Take a look at https://github.com/wiringbits/scala-webapp-template and https://github.com/playframework/play-samples

Years ago, I wrote some ansible scripts so that ansible-playbook -i test-hosts.ini server.yml is enough to deploy the app (sample).

Given that you aren't familiar with Scala, I'd suggest looking into Play Framework, if you want to start fast and play with a project, check this template, your js background could help you to update the frontend relatively quick.

I'd suggest to check this template which already has an skeleton for a CRUD app, including deployment scripts that can mount an environment in ubuntu servers.

Still, you don't need to because you can write a simple Scala.js PWA that gets deployed to the Play Store as a Trusted Web Activity, it is a super nice experience (here is one example).

I'm biased to monorepos, check the template I posted above because it does exactly that, I even have a monorepo that includes a browser extension sharing code with backend/webapp

cazadescuentos-chrome: a price-tracker browser extension.

Slinky does support react-native but I haven't tried it, the app I was referring to is this pwa with this small android wrapper (playstore link), the android wrapper was mostly auto-generated and it just have a small update to support sharing data to it from the browser, I understand the same can be done for iOS but I haven't tried just because I don't have a Mac.
