Claim: functional programming is practical in large companies and reduces boilerplate around nulls, exceptions and I O. Uses Scala on Spark and Akka, Kafka Cassandra MongoDB and libraries like cats IO with OptionT to model partiality, failure and external calls. Examples include cache lookups and a signup flow with an encrypt that throws on "mailman" a head bug in a list and a restaurants data lake pipeline; composition yields IO values that are run with unsafeRunSync producing Either[Throwable, Option[Int]] and scales to millions of events per day.
