Elixir and OTP

The Erlang ecosystem excels at handling concurrent scenarios like the large chat system WhatsApp. Its paradigms based on concurrency differ from your common experience but they will boost your performance and spark your interest after understanding. This talk explains the basic principles of Elixir.

After a brief introduction into Elixir’s syntax, we approach the communication model and then move on to the failure recovery enabled by supervision trees. The talk is concluded by the explanation of hot code swapping.

Philipp Neugebauer Alumnus

Philipp worked since his career entry primarily remote. His technical focus is as allrounder on web development, preferably with Phoenix or Rails. Thereby, especially the BEAM and its outstanding concurrency handling thrilled him. He also cares about the “soft” topics of team work: How do we work together more successful? How do we improve ourselves further? Philipp worked as a Consultant at INNOQ until April 2022.
