Saša Jurić demonstrates the concurrency model, process isolation, and fault tolerance mechanisms of the BEAM virtual machine using Elixir.
This presentation was recorded at GOTO Chicago 2019. #gotocon #gotochgo gotochgo.com Saša Jurić - Author of "Elixir in Action” @sasajuric5850 ABSTRACT Whether you're developing a small web site or a large-scale distributed system, Erlang and Elixir are great tools for building server-side systems. Both languages can help you start quickly and deal with highly complex problems at a large scale. This talk aims to explain what makes Erlang and Elixir suitable for such tasks. We'll look past the syntax and the ecosystem, focusing instead on the concurrency model of these languages. Combining a bit of high-level theory and a couple of demos, we'll examine some important properties of Erlang/Elixir concurrency, with a special emphasis on why these properties are very relevant when building highly available systems. The talk targets experienced backend developers, but no knowledge of Erlang or Elixir is required.

…than, like, a session token, then you made the wrong choice and you need to go back and re-assess. Elixir is in the "germination phase" and I predict massive adoption in the next 5 years. It is a truly excellent platform, every fintech company I know at least has their toe in the water. Everyone I show this video to 1 just says "well, shit." 1 link to this video…

On “Crystal 0.33”
I replaced a python/uwsgi stateless stack with an elixir stateful system. Flipped it over and it worked flawlessly, and hasn't died once in several months of operation. Latencies are way down, and operation of it is simpler. Full deploy to the head node is one command, not an ansible script. I guess part of it is that I'm lazy and haven't learned supervisor strategies like kubernetes (the place I work doesn't deploy kubernetes anyways) This video is instrumental in giving me the confidence to do what I did: link to this video

> and particularly, videos go out of their way to discuss how process management and IPC communication works After watching a bunch of videos on BEAM/erlang/elixir I came to the conclusion that it isn't a platform for computation, it's a platform for communication. The best video (by far) was The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić link to this video Two shallow benchmarks: link link (phoenix is at 175)

I would find a list of good talks much more useful. For example, 'The Soul of Erlang and Elixir' talk by Sasa Juric 1 really sold me on Elixir. 1 link to this video

Almost no business application is written for performance at raw request speed. What Elixir brings is far more the that. Watch this if you want to understand why so many people fall in love with it. link to this video

On “Why Elixir (2014)”
From the author of this post, here's one of the best demos of Elixir, Erlang and modern distributed computing in general: "The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić • GOTO 2019" - link to this video When you feel sufficiently amazed by this demo, I also recommend the Elixir in Action book, by this same author, to get started with this incredible ecosystem and paradigm. --- It's hard to imagine a better platform than Erlang's for writing distributed and networked systems of any kind. I fell in love with Elixir in 2016 and have been using it full time since, first adopting as CTO in my previous company, now powering my new solo business. It's such a good language, with great community and stewardship, r…

If you're interested in Erlang/Elixir, you might want to watch this video: link to this video (GOTO 2019 • The Soul of Erlang and Elixir • Saša Jurić) It shows off the power of the BEAM VM -- and kind of makes you stand back and go "whoa.. how do they do that?"
