Introduction to Smithy and Smithy4s - Code Generation for Scala

Explore the world of Smithy and Smithy4s in this informative 41-minute conference talk from Scala Days Conferences. Discover how AWS leverages code generation to manage its vast array of services, and learn about Smithy, a declarative language that evolved from 14 years of iteration in the field. Delve into Smithy's unique protocol-agnostic approach, which allows for describing various services beyond just REST/JSON. Gain insights into Smithy4s, a Scala code generator that maintains Smithy's protocol-agnostic nature, enabling the creation of case classes, interfaces, and runtime interpreters for diverse applications. Understand how Smithy4s is utilized at DisneyStreaming for REST/JSON application development and its potential for building custom SDKs. Get an introduction to the Smithy IDL and witness a demonstration of Smithy4s capabilities in this comprehensive presentation by Olivier Mélois.
