Description:

Erlang programmers have boasted about high concurrency, fault tolerance, and high scalability. However, using the language alone for this isn't enough to guarantee any of these properties: you have to use it right and play to the platform's strengths.

In this presentation, we will explore some common application design patterns, tools, libraries, and optimizations used by Erlang developers for production systems.

Target audience:

• developers with basic Erlang knowledge, but who want more information for production cases
• onlookers curious about Erlang code that could be in production
