The rise of fault-tolerant, distributed systems has led to greater programming complexity. Both Erlang and Elixir offer unique benefits for developing always-available and highly concurrent systems.

Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World Moore's Law tells us that computing power doubles every two years, and we've enjoyed faster and faster computers ever since. But Moore's law is ...

How do you support 450 million users with only 32 engineers? For WhatsApp, acquired earlier this week by Facebook, the answer is Erlang, a programming language developed in the ’80s that is finally ...

This outrage shows that modern solutions must be designed resiliently to enable service provisioning during incidents. There are multiple solutions to develop high-available and reliable services that ...

Erlang is a programming language built for distributed systems from the ground up. Scalable, robust that’s Erlang for you. Erlang is one of those early languages which were based on the functional ...

Concurrency is hard. A language’s implementation of concurrency concerns can make the challenge of dealing with concurrency even more difficult or a bit easier. Case in point: Erlang. Erlang is a hip ...

Joe Armstrong, one of the creators of Erlang, introduces this powerful language in small steps, giving you a complete overview of Erlang and how to use it in common scenarios.The second edition has ...

Thanks to distributed computing as well as web- and API-enabled services, demand has increased for versatile programming languages. Elixir functional programming offers an option for developers who ...

Because exploit code for a “critical” vulnerability in Erlang/OTP SSH is in circulation, attacks could occur in the near future. If attackers successfully exploit the vulnerability, they can ...
