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.

Every application needs to include a kernel application to be able to run. When starting an Erlang shell there are 39 processes running inside BEAM. What are those 39 processes and how do they work together to make BEAM tick? What exactly does Erlang kernel do and why does every application need it? What happened inside BEAM when you print a simple hello world to the screen? In this talk, we will take a deep dive into Erlang's kernel and find out how beautiful Erlang's internal works.

Partisan reduces message latency through a combination of three predominately automatic optimizations: parallelism, named channels and affinitized scheduling. Partisan also assists the developer in deployment of their distributed applications by providing orchestration through Kubernetes, Mesos or Docker. Finally, Christopher presents preliminary work on improving the resiliency of your distributed applications through Partisan's new fault-injection framework.

Beginners tend to overuse features such as pattern matching and multiple function heads because of their novelty, while missing opportunities to make their code more generic and workable. Additionally, powerful language features such as protocols and behaviours are often overlooked due to their relative complexity. This talk will highlight many of the common beginner mistakes and often alternative patterns to writing code that tend to be more maintainable over time. Read the full abstract: https://codesync.global/speaker/david-lucia/ --- THE SPEAKER - DAVID LUCIA Dave started as a C++ developer but has refactored himself into a passionate Elixir dev. He is proud of building https://theoutline.com, as well as rebuilding Bloomberg.com in 2014 Dave is currently using Elixir and Rust to build high load, real-time sports betting software at SimpleBet. Before that, Dave spent two and a half years at The Outline, where he built its custom CMS and advertising platform in Elixir and Phoenix.

TALK LEVEL: Advanced ABSTRACT In 2017, Brian gave a keynote titled "Piecemeal Into Space: Reliability, Safety and Erlang Principles". In that talk, he discussed the high-level semantic model of Erlang, a slightly more concrete abstract representation of processes and their interaction with the schedulers and extrapolated this out into the application to spacecraft systems. In this talk, we'll go deeper, discussing the concrete implementation of core Erlang concepts as reflected in the BEAM: the message process queue, the layout of a process and the structure the BEAM uses to associate names and PIDs.

In a Continuous Integration (CI) scenario, disruptions in the QA Environment can eliminate the possibility of CI. Strong guarantees and notification of environment errors are necessary for the orderly management of CI. An Erlang application can automate the type of monitoring, state reporting, and supervision of the environment needed by an active Agile organization for managing CI.

The language has been stable for a long time now, but that doesn't mean it hasn't evolved. In this talk, I want to tell the story of how Elixir grew up to be what it is today. We'll talk about how the language changed to work better for the community, and how the community changed to write better Elixir. We'll try to guess at where this is all going next.

Well, I did. And I was a nervous wreck! We were launching a new product during a commercial at the Super Bowl 302 days away, and I was betting everything on a technology we had never used in production. I spent countless nights wavering back and forth thinking about the millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of person hours that were on the line. Everything was resting on the shoulders of this one web service that had to handle the excessive load placed upon it when our commercial aired. The technology chosen was Erlang, a mystical, functional, dynamically compiled language that was very foreign to this eight-time Microsoft MVP. This is a story about picking the right tool for the right job, exploring other possibilities, and the difference between playing with technology and putting it into production. As a noted storyteller, I'll take you on the journey of: · how we stumbled upon Erlang during our dedicated innovation time · what made it so special that we were willing to take such a risk · what we learned along the way · how it performed · and would we do it again If you love a great technology story, I hope you'll join me for this tale of how this web service, built in unproven technology to us, survived Super Bowl Sunday.

It takes a lot to support this statement. For 10 years WhatsApp demonstrated unprecedented reliability and availability, serving over 1.5B users. There is absolutely no way to reproduce interactions between all of them, within the cluster spanning over 10,000 nodes and multiple data centers. Investigations must be done on a live system without disturbing connected users. If there are repairs needed, it has to be done on the fly. This talk will guide through debugging and troubleshooting techniques used at WhatsApp. Maxim will share a few case studies, explain monitoring, introspection, performance analysis, and tools. Some knowledge of Erlang and C is necessary.

The general explanation for them is usually along the lines of """"they're like interfaces for OOP"""". While that's somewhat accurate, it's also misleading and introduces a lot of confusion on how and when to use the existing behaviours and when it's reasonable to define your own ones. In this talk, Brujo will explain what behaviours are, how they should be used, and how to create and expose new ones if you ever need to.
