This document summarizes the architecture and design of Goozy, a social networking application built using Scala. Key points include:
1. Goozy uses the Scala programming language and is built around a RESTful API server with functionality for storage, background tasks, and email sending.
2. The application was originally developed using some features of the Lift web framework but encountered various issues related to performance, code style, and complexity.
3. The developers refactored to use the "cake pattern" which separates functionality into components with explicit dependencies to improve modularity, testability, and code quality.
