Custom Scala development services

You’ve probably used products built by our Scala developers.

From slow data jobs to backend services that struggle at peak traffic, we rebuild Scala systems that scale cleanly and stay reliable. Our teams help you create stable performance under peak load and real headroom for growth.

  • Scala Backend & API Development

    Backend systems hit limits when load increases or new features demand more from the architecture. Bring on our dedicated Scala developers to design and build Scala services that support high concurrency, clean boundaries, and predictable performance in production. With APIs that scale smoothly and behave predictably under load, your team can ship new functionality faster and keep infrastructure costs under control.

  • Custom Scala Application Development

    Legacy modules or rigid workflows slow your roadmap when they no longer match business reality. We architect and deliver custom Scala applications with secure, testable, and maintainable foundations aligned to your processes. This work gives you a dependable system that supports growth and reduces long-term engineering risk.

  • Scala for Big Data Pipelines

    Slow pipelines and rising compute spend block timely analytics. Our engineers create Spark-based Scala pipelines that minimize shuffle, optimize partitioning, and maintain stable throughput at large scale. The payoff is faster insights, tighter control of cloud costs, and a data foundation that supports advanced use cases, including big data processing across complex systems. 

  • Scala Migration & Modernization

    Aging Scala systems increase deployment risk and make feature delivery unpredictable. We audit your environment, map dependencies, and execute staged migrations—whether you move to Scala 3 or eliminate legacy libraries. You end up with a cleaner, more reliable codebase that performs better and supports long-term plans across your enterprise systems. 

  • Performance Optimization for Scala Applications

    Latency spikes, JVM memory issues, and slow Spark jobs disrupt customers and push teams into firefighting mode. We profile your system, isolate the bottlenecks, and implement targeted fixes across concurrency patterns, GC behavior, and data-processing logic. So you see faster response times, higher stability under load, and smarter use of infrastructure—results only skilled Scala developers deliver at scale. 

  • Scala-Based Event-Driven & Streaming Systems

    Real-time workloads overwhelm architectures that were never built for unpredictable traffic. We design and deploy distributed, event-driven Scala systems that maintain stability as throughput grows and new services come online. You gain lower latency, stronger fault tolerance, and the ability to act on data the moment it arrives across distributed computing environments. 

Their engineers perform at very high standards. We've had a strong relationship for almost 7 years."

The best partnerships are the ones you don't have to worry about. We deliver the kind of technical execution and reliability that builds long-term trust. It's why clients consistently praise our work quality and performance.

Backed by 4000+ devs

Why tech leaders choose our Scala teams:

Scala sits at the core of high-throughput systems, real-time data flows, and distributed architectures. Our engineers build and maintain these platforms so they stay fast, resilient, and production-ready as your workloads grow.

Speak With Our Team

  • Top 1% Senior Scala Talent

    We hire less than 1% of over two million applicants each year. You work with senior developers who bring 8–10+ years of Scala experience and more than a decade in backend engineering. Our engineers work confidently across functional and object-oriented patterns, JVM internals, Spark pipelines, and distributed systems. Every hire passes a multi-stage technical assessment that proves they can deliver production-quality Scala code.

  • Scale Across Any Tech Stack

    Scala rarely operates in isolation, so we support your entire ecosystem with backend, cloud, and data specialists who step in the moment your project needs them. Our team covers JVM environments, distributed data systems, DevOps pipelines, and modern front-end frameworks to ensure nothing blocks progress. You gain a single trusted partner that supports every layer of your architecture, from distributed computing to enterprise platforms.

  • Proven Long-Term Stability

    We support more than 500 active clients, with relationships that span three years on average and often much longer. Our delivery structure keeps engineers engaged and ensures teams stay consistent across releases, refactors, and roadmap shifts. You eliminate talent churn and gain a partner with proven expertise in maintaining reliable systems over time.

Scala FAQ

What tech leaders ask about Scala before pulling us in:

  • How quickly can your engineers start on my project?

    We start within 2–4 weeks, depending on the team size and seniority you need. We assemble a Scala team, align on goals, and move straight into onboarding without slowing your workflows. You avoid long hiring delays and keep delivery on track through expert Scala development services that integrate cleanly with your existing environment.

  • What level of experience do your Scala developers bring?

    You work with senior engineers who hold deep experience across Scala, the JVM, and backend systems. Most bring 8–10+ years in Scala and well over a decade in professional software development. Each engineer passes rigorous technical evaluations that prove readiness for production-grade work and ability to write efficient code across complex backends.

  • Will your engineers work in my time zone?

    Yes. Our nearshore teams operate in U.S.-aligned time zones and join your standups, planning sessions, and incident reviews in real time. With us, you avoid the lag and coordination issues offshore models create and maintain seamless integration with your workflows.

  • How do you integrate with our workflows?

    We step into your environment and use the tools you already trust—GitHub, Jira, Slack, CI/CD platforms, and cloud services. Our engineers follow your branching strategy, review standards, and deployment process. This means you keep full control while increasing delivery capacity.

  • What safeguards do you provide around security and compliance?

    We maintain ISO 27001 certification and operate in compliance with SOC 2 standards. We apply secure-SDLC steps, enforce least privilege, and support auditability across the development lifecycle. You reduce operational risk and maintain alignment with your compliance requirements across mission-critical software solutions.

    We’ve delivered hundreds of projects under strict compliance requirements, including GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. Our teams know how to meet enterprise security mandates and audit standards without slowing delivery.

  • How stable are your teams over time?

    Our model is built for continuity and long-term partnership. Most of our engineers stay on projects for 2+ years, so you’re not dealing with constant churn. And if someone does roll off, our 4,000+ engineer bench lets us backfill quickly with overlap and proper handoff. That’s how we keep delivery steady and client relationships running for 3-10+ years.

  • Do you handle contracts and billing in the U.S.?

    Yes. We support U.S.-based contracts, invoicing, and payment structures. This simplifies procurement and aligns with enterprise compliance expectations.

  • Can you improve performance in existing Scala applications?

    Yes. We profile the application in production-like conditions, identify the specific bottlenecks (hot code paths, concurrency contention, JVM/GC behavior, IO, and data-processing inefficiencies), and apply targeted changes. The result of this optimization work is lower latency, higher throughput, and more predictable performance under peak load.

  • What makes your Scala development services better?

    Our engineers rank in the top 1% of LATAM tech talent and bring deep experience across Scala, the JVM, and large-scale backend systems. They solve performance, reliability, and scalability challenges with predictable execution and long-term team stability. With more than 15 years of proven delivery, we provide expert Scala development services that align to enterprise requirements and support your roadmap with confidence.
