Distributing systems in Scala with Fiangle

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Explains how Finagle RPC framework plus Netty and Scala futures let teams build resilient async services that run at Twitter scale, handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second and composing over 100 services. Shows concrete primitives: Service as Request => Future[Response], filters (example proxy that appends content), load‑balancing and connection pools, metrics (p95/p99, timers, counters) and admin ports. Demonstrates working patterns used in production for retries, failure handling and protocol pluggability.
