Maxim Fedorov shares how WhatsApp scaled its Erlang cluster to 10,000 nodes, detailing the bottlenecks and optimizations required.

This video was recorded at Code Mesh LDN 18 bit.ly/2P7SPII Get involved in Code Sync's next conference bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- SCALING ERLANG CLUSTER TO 10,000 NODES by Maxim Fedorov THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Scaling Erlang Cluster TALK LEVEL: Advanced ABSTRACT Growing user population beyond 1.5B does not leave a chance to keep server footprint as small as it used to be. Adding new capabilities requires more and more processing power. When it gets impossible to keep everything on just ten servers, we have to scale the cluster to a hundred. When a hundred gets too tight, we expand it to 1,000. What’s next? 10,000? And how is it possible, considering current scalability limits of a single Erlang cluster? This talk will guide you along the way we took to improve Erlang scalability, remove bottlenecks and increase efficiency of our Erlang-based applications.
