This video was recorded at Code Elixir LDN 18: http://bit.ly/2vxJuxL Get involved in Code Sync's next Elixir conference: http://bit.ly/2Mcm4aS --- IT’S SCARY OUT THERE! DISCOVERING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS IN ELIXIR by Maciej Kaszubowski THIS TALK IN THREE WORDS: Distributed systems Tradeoffs Multi-node TALK LEVEL: Intermediate ABSTRACT Elixir is often advertised as a great platform for building multi-node applications. While there’s some truth in that, there is nothing easy about distributed systems. This talk covers the nice things available to Elixir developers thanks to the Erlang VM. We also learn how these features are actually implemented and what guarantees they give us. With that knowledge, Maciej offers up example problems to be solved and explores possible solutions and their trade-offs. Have you ever wondered how Phoenix Channels or Phoenix Presence actually work? Why there’s so many different solutions? What’s the difference between :global and :pg2 modules? Or whether these “CRDT” things will solve all of your problems with distributed computing? If so, watch and discover the scary and fascinating world of distributed systems.
