Such great heights

If you don't have a hammer, nothing looks like a nail. Concurrency in BEAM is a great fit for a lot of problems, but it's often overlooked, because many of us have worked for a long time without having such a hammer in our tool box. By doing so, we may have settled for improvisations in place of a more appropriate tool.

This talk aims to raise awareness in the potentials of BEAM concurrency. It does so by presenting a real-world situation, to implement a brand new solution to a well-known problem, to re-invent the wheel, despite the fact that many off-the-shelf options are available.

We'll examine the motivation behind this decision, and go through some interesting technical aspects of the implementation.

After this talk, attendees will have a better understanding of what can be achieved with BEAM concurrency, and they will hopefully be motivated to use it more frequently.

If you don't have a hammer, nothing looks like a nail. Concurrency in BEAM is a great fit for a lot of problems, but it's often overlooked, because many of us have worked for a long time without having such hammer in our tool belt. By doing so, we may have settled for improvisations in place of a more appropriate tool.

This talk aims to raise the awareness about the potential of BEAM concurrency by presenting a real-world situation where Elixir has been used to reinvent a wheel, and implement a brand new solution to a well-known problem, despite the fact that there were many off-the-shelf options available. We'll examine the motivation behind this decision, and go through some interesting technical aspects of the implementation.

OBJECTIVES

After the talk, the audience will gain a better feeling about what can be achieved with BEAM concurrency, and they will hopefully be motivated to reach for it more frequently.
