PRT Software Ltd is a software consultancy specialising in the Scala programming language based in London, UK.

Scala exploded in popularity when Microservices did. Whilst many companies enjoy Scala's benefits, some companies find themselves over-stretched with diverse technologies and thinning expertise. PRT Software can provide expert Scala contractors or manage your Scala based microservices, on your estate or ours, ensuring your business continuity. PRT Software has 15 years of industry experience and is available for short contracts, intermittent work or specific deliverables to help keep your Scala solutions running effectively.
