Do you like Caliban? Or maybe Shardcake? Enjoyed OSS contributions I’ve done over the years? Have I helped you on Discord? I’ve just setup a GitHub Sponsor page so if you’d like to give a little back or encourage future contributions, head up to github.com/sponsors/ghostdog… 🙏

Introducing Caliban Gateway, a new module to combine remote Apollo Federation subgraphs, plain GraphQL services and local Caliban APIs into a single graph. This has been in the works for more than 3 years, and I am glad to finally release a first version in Caliban 3.2.0. As usual, UX should be quite nice and performance is very competitive 🚀 Give it a try and let me know what you think 🙏 More details here: ghostdogpr.github.io/caliban…

PureLogic 0.3.0 is out! 🚀 This release moves to freshly baked Scala 3.9 LTS and adds support for experimental capture checking. Enable it to catch capabilities escaping through closures, lazy collections, and more. See release notes for a concrete example! github.com/ghostdogpr/purelo…

After 6+ years at Devsisters, I’m ready for my next challenge. I’m a hands-on backend architect with 15+ years of experience designing and building large-scale backend systems, distributed architectures, and high-concurrency live-service game platforms. I’m also a library author and maintainer in the Scala open-source ecosystem, where I’ve created projects including Caliban, Shardcake, and Proteus. I’d love to continue working primarily with Scala in my next role. I’m looking for: - Location: Remote worldwide or hybrid/onsite in South Korea - Focus: Backend architecture, distributed systems, and lead/principal engineering roles If you think my experience could be a good fit for your team, feel free to send me a DM. If you know someone hiring, a share or repost would be hugely appreciated!

Revived an old project of mine, building a Caliban-powered GraphQL gateway capable of composing multiple services into a single graph, with excellent performance 👀 github.com/ghostdogpr/caliba…

Sage is now running in prod serving thousands of req/s 😎 ghostdogpr.github.io/sage/

Sage now comes with a built-in and easy to use Redis/Valkey distributed rate-limiter! Also: JSON support, as well as many improvements and fixes for cluster mode. github.com/ghostdogpr/sage/r…

Working on adding a Redis/Valkey-backed distributed token-bucket rate limiter to Sage, super easy to use 🚀

I just discovered that an interesting new parser library was built on top of PureLogic: PureParser github.com/Iltotore/purepars… More details in this blogpost (in French but easy to translate) hub.notaname.fr/paradigmes/f…

Had an agent do multiple rounds of review over the entire Caliban codebase and fixed a bunch of edge cases and rare bugs, some over 6 years old. Release notes: github.com/ghostdogpr/caliba…

Released Sage 0.2.0 with new features and improvements. The highlight is a new OpenTelemetry integration which gives you traces for Redis/Valkey commands by adding a single line of code. github.com/ghostdogpr/sage/r…

Released Proteus 0.5.1 with some nice performance improvements on the decoding side 🚀 github.com/ghostdogpr/proteu…

Wrote a little something about the dilemma of Scala library authors regarding which effect system(s) to support and how kyo-compat offers a nice alternative. blog.pierre-ricadat.com/the-…

By popular demand, I added a fifth backend to Sage, my new Redis/Valkey Scala library. You can now use it with Future and Pekko Streams! ghostdogpr.github.io/sage/

Kyo-compat is quite interesting for library maintainers! This is what allowed me to support 4 backends (5 soon as I'm adding Future/Pekko) in Sage without much duplication and no overhead.
