Scala is a versatile programming language that combines object-oriented and functional programming paradigms, enabling concise, readable code that accelerates development and makes software easier to test and maintain. Scala is well-suited for building fast, concurrent, data-intensive applications — real-time analytics solutions, streaming services, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, transaction processing systems, and more.
Since 2010, SysGears has been delivering Scala development services to companies worldwide. Now, SysGears is an international team of seasoned tech and business experts who focus on quality, security, and business value. We can build a Scala-based application from the ground up or improve an existing solution through performance optimization, codebase refactoring, migration, and new features implementation.
Benefits of Scala For Backend Development
Ship Applications Faster
Scala’s concise, expressive syntax, with support for higher-order functions and type inference, reduces repetitive code and improves its clarity, helping teams refactor more confidently and accelerate releases while decreasing development and maintenance overhead for businesses.
Boost Software Reliability
Scala’s support for immutable data structures helps engineers build concurrent systems with fewer bugs and minimize side effects that may arise during software evolution. For businesses, it translates into maintainable, scalable systems that remain stable under heavy loads.
Embrace JVM Interoperability
Since Scala runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), it seamlessly integrates with Java codebases, which makes this programming language a perfect fit for companies that have already invested in Java-based software infrastructure.
Leverage Active Community Support
Scala is a mature programming language with a strong community and established governance. This means teams can access the latest documentation and receive expert advice, allowing them to solve arising challenges faster and keep the toolkit up to date.

Our Scala Development Expertise
MindAuth: Multi-Factor Authentication SaaS
SysGears developed a multifactor authentication SaaS solution for use in banking, fintech, and healthcare software products. It enables user verification via multiple security methods, including biometric authentication and the proprietary MindAuth system. The solution comprises a cross-platform mobile app serving as a personal identity verification tool and a robust cloud service consisting of several fault-tolerant APIs that ensure on-demand scalability and uninterrupted service operation. Convenient dashboards help businesses detect potential threats early on and make data-driven decisions based on their product usage statistics.
Big Data Software For Dental Facilities
SysGears modernized a software solution intended for evaluating dental clinics’ profitability and identifying revenue leakage through CRM data analysis. Since the previous product version had inefficient data processing workflows and required performance tuning, our experienced Scala developers rebuilt the system architecture and upgraded the technology stack with Apache Spark to support big data processing. This enabled near real-time data ingestion and processing, with insights presented in convenient dashboards and graphs.
SysGears provided custom Scala development services to help a transportation technology company create a smart mobility platform that analyzes data from IoT devices, enabling vehicle identification, real-time traffic monitoring, environmental metrics tracking, and more. Our dedicated Scala development team worked on the solution’s microservice architecture, enhancing data processing speed and efficiency. Our engineers implemented scalable data processing pipelines to handle the large volumes of data from IoT devices. We enabled integration with third-party systems and set up safe data export and synchronization, ensuring data security and integrity.
Subscription-Based Movie Ticketing Service
SysGears rendered Scala team augmentation services, helping the client improve the backend of their product — a subscription-based movie ticketing mobile app. Although the service was already live, the inconsistent backend codebase made it difficult to maintain and evolve. Our Scala engineer refactored the production-running microservices to organize the codebase for better performance, improved maintainability, and faster releases. As part of the project, several existing ETL pipelines were optimized to ensure the mobile app shows the correct screening times and movie details. Our developer also built several admin-facing REST API endpoints to accelerate content verification and streamline other related back-office operations.

FAQ
Is Scala suitable for MVP development?
Scala is well-suited for an MVP development if your project benefits from its strong type system, functional programming features, and seamless interoperability with Java. For instance, Scala is a good fit for building a high-performance, scalable backend service (e.g., real-time data processing or a complex API). You can also opt for Python for MVP development, which allows you to build an app quickly and reliably.
Is Scala good for cloud-native development?
Yes, Scala is an excellent choice for building reactive, distributed systems on the JVM. Scala stack helps teams build services that scale elastically and recover gracefully from failures, which are among the key requirements for cloud-native architectures. Scala suits well for building microservices and event-driven systems for domains like fintech, retail, and media.
Can I hire dedicated developers from SysGears for my project?
Yes, our software engineers can work with you directly without any management overhead, performing and communicating as a part of your team. All our team members sincerely care about the projects they work on, seeking the most efficient solutions to business problems, optimizing workflows where possible, and achieving the best results.
Can you assist in migrating existing applications to Scala?
Yes, SysGears helps teams migrate applications to Scala or upgrade legacy Scala codebases and frameworks to modern alternatives. We ensure seamless data transfer and minimal disruptions to your business operations.
How much does Scala software development cost?
The final price for our Scala development services depends on multiple factors, including the chosen collaboration model, the number of specialists involved and their seniority levels, overall project complexity (architecture and scalability requirements, the number of features and integrations), urgency requirements, and more. SysGears works on a time-and-materials basis, which means you pay exactly for the hours our team allocates to your project. Contact us to estimate the approximate time and budget for your project.
