Open Source Scala Build Tools

Define your tasks in Scala. Run them in parallel from sbt's interactive shell. sbt is built for Scala and Java projects. It is the build tool of choice for 93.6% of the Scala developers (2019). One of the examples of a Scala-specific feature is the ability to cross-build your project against multiple Scala versions. build.sbt is a Scala-based DSL to express parallel processing task graph. Typos in build.sbt will be caught as a compilation error. With Zinc incremental compiler and file watch (~), edit-compile-test loop is fast and incremental. Adding support for new tasks and platforms (like Scala.js) is as easy as writing build.sbt. Join 100+ community-maintained plugins to share and reuse sbt tasks. Continuous compilation and testing with triggered execution. Supports mixed Scala/Java projects. Supports testing with ScalaCheck, specs, and ScalaTest. JUnit is supported by a plugin. Starts the Scala REPL with project classes and dependencies on the classpath.

Your shiny new Scala build tool! Confused by SBT? Frustrated by Maven? Perplexed by Gradle? Give Mill a try. In-process tests live in the .test sub-modules of the various Mill modules. These range from tiny unit tests, to larger integration tests that instantiate a TestUtil.BaseModule in-process and a TestEvaluator to evaluate tasks on it. Note that the in-memory tests compile the BaseModule together with the test suite, and do not exercise the Mill script-file bootstrapping, transformation, and compilation process.

Build powerful reactive, concurrent, and distributed applications more easily. Akka is a toolkit for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications for Java and Scala. Actors and Streams let you build systems that scale up, using the resources of a server more efficiently, and out, using multiple servers. Building on the principles of The Reactive Manifesto Akka allows you to write systems that self-heal and stay responsive in the face of failures. Up to 50 million msg/sec on a single machine. Small memory footprint; ~2.5 million actors per GB of heap. Distributed systems without single points of failure. Load balancing and adaptive routing across nodes. Event Sourcing and CQRS with Cluster Sharding. Distributed Data for eventual consistency using CRDTs. Asynchronous non-blocking stream processing with backpressure.

HiveMind is a browser based web development that combines an application container (jetty), a middleware and a developer environment that runs in the browser. It runs on the jvm so you are not limited by environment. You can run it on your laptop, company server or even on a cloud service like AWS. It supports Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Groovy, Clojure. Source include so it is easy to hack so you can modify it for your own need.

Apache OpenWhisk is an open source, distributed Serverless platform that executes functions (fx) in response to events at any scale. OpenWhisk manages the infrastructure, servers and scaling using Docker containers so you can focus on building amazing and efficient applications. The OpenWhisk platform supports a programming model in which developers write functional logic (called Actions), in any supported programming language, that can be dynamically scheduled and run in response to associated events (via Triggers) from external sources (Feeds) or from HTTP requests. The project includes a REST API-based Command Line Interface (CLI) along with other tooling to support packaging, catalog services and many popular container deployment options. Since Apache OpenWhisk builds its components using containers it easily supports many deployment options both locally and within Cloud infrastructures.

Conventions based build tool powered by apache ant.

metaDSL provides a framework which eases creation of BNF grammars, parser generators and code generators. Executes as a Maven plugin or from the command line via a lightweight launcher powered by Maven runtime. See also: http://www.metadsl.com/
