Modeling the Real World With Elixir/OTP
What is the focus of your work today?
I work on event-based systems that leverage Elixir/OTP and quite a bit of Apache Kafka. My team is building a platform for enriching and processing high volumes of data in real time.
What’s the motivation for this talk?
The motivation is twofold. First, the actor model despite having been around for a while does not have as much adoption as shared-memory based traditional concurrency models. Therefore one of the motivating factors behind this talk to help the audience model a “real world” problem with Elixir’s actors (BEAM processes and OTP abstractions).
