How we implement our processes and the roles they play can have a dramatic effect on the life of our applications. What impact will the choices we make have? How much state is too much? Can our processes get in over their heads? Hold my state and we'll see! OBJECTIVES Examine the good, bad, and ugly ways processes can behave and look at the tools available to us to better diagnose problems. AUDIENCE Anyone building OTP applications. THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: OTP, Processes, Elixir TALK LEVEL: Beginner --- THE SPEAKER - Johnny Winn Host of the Elixir Fountain podcast The renaissance man from Jacksonville, Johnny embarked on his computing curiosity during the eighties on a Commodore 64.
