should have put an example to help clarify. For example, instead of throwing implicits around, i'd recommend they manually declare arguments like ExecutionContexts. Also sometimes the best way to teach someone from an OO background, is to first let them write their code imperatively, then work with them gradually to move to more functional approaches.

great read! I'm 3 years into the language and brought it into my company. As part of mentoring other devs coming from a web background, I kept repeating the mantra, "make it work the simplest way first" then explore the options scala gives you. As long as there were units tests for the logic, the details could change. The more I use the language, the more fascinated I become. Heck, I just learned about Bottom types last week!

you can get around the 1:1 ratio of docker container to host by introducing service discovery. We are using ECS + docker with consul as our service discovery solution. We have an edge gateway using Zuul, with our routing filters hitting consul to get a service endpoint and port. Then forwarding the request to that service. It has been nice sofar and allows us to run multiple containers (same service or different service) on a host.
