ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- The beginning of this session was not recorded. Here is a summary of the introduction: Skunk is a pure functional data access library for Scala + Postgres Skunk doesn't use JDBC. It speaks the Postgres wire protocol. Skunk is asynchronous all the way down, via cats-effect, fs2, and ultimately nio. Serialization to and from schema types is not typeclass-based, so there are no implicit derivations. Skunk uses Resource for lifetime-managed objects. See https://github.com/tpolecat/skunk for more information.
