tyrian VS scala-webapp-template

If you want to try TEA, but not Elm I reccomend Scala.js with Tyrian[1]. Scala.js is a wonderful, mature project and Tyrian gives you the elm architecture in a very pragmatic way.

Have you looked at Laminar and Tyrian? Especially Tyrian seems to be close to what you're looking for.

What I wrote is obviously based on my experience as backend and data engineer. I'm so happy to see an adoption on the Frontend side (with things like Tyrian or OutWatch) and would be even happier if there was a clean path to Android. Out of curiosity, what do you find appealing in Scala, compared to e.g. Kotlin?

Documentation can be found at https://indigoengine.io/ and https://tyrian.indigoengine.io/.

Yes, I have. It didn't work out. There are quite neat libs like Tyrian, but they lack any ecosystem and I struggled to integrate it with pure JS libs - yet our app has a lot of very common components/widgets that we're really hesitating to write ourselves.

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.
