Fred Hebert - Operable Erlang and Elixir | Code BEAM SF 19

Fred Hebert discusses how to build and operate resilient Erlang and Elixir systems by understanding complexity and using BEAM debugging tools.

This video was recorded at Code BEAM SF 19 bit.ly/2T3Do0U Get involved in Code Sync's next conference bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- OPERABLE ERLANG AND ELIXIR by Fred Hebert THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Debugging Complexity Resilience TALK LEVEL: Intermediate ABSTRACT Any system that is successful necessarily grows more complex. This means that code gets messier, but also that the people who are part of the system have to handle ever-increasing complexity. It is not sufficient to take a code-centric approach; to make our Erlang and Elixir systems truly operator-friendly, we have to understand how our mental models work, and what constitutes good automation. Finally, we need to be aware of all the tools the Erlang VM makes available to us to truly deal with the unexpected.
