Scalable dist-sys from grounds up in Elixir

Submitted Apr 20, 2019

Elixir comes bundled with battle tested primitives to build highly concurrent, event-driven, distributed systems. These primitives can be composed like Lego blocks to build all manner of system architectures. However not all of them will scale with increasing traffic. This talk will take you through the journey of building a platform for running live interactive game shows using Elixir, the way things failed / evolved and the lessons learned along the way.

Outline

The outline of the talk would be roughly as follows:

  1. Discussion of the erlang/elixir process model
  2. Discussion of GenServers (other OTP constructs if required)
  3. Discussion on distributed erlang
  4. Cycling through live game show architecutures

Requirements

Basic knowledge / awareness of some Erlang/OTP constructs

Speaker bio

Udit is a software engineer at nilenso, the Bangalore based software co-op consultancy. He <3s clojure, elixir and emacs.

    Udit, a few things you should note:

    1. There will be folks in the audience who don't have experience with Elixir, but who still want to hear about the talk. You may want to add a quick context and links to some resources to bring these folks up to speed.
    2. Can you show comparisons with solutions similar to Elixir or those which solve similar problems?
    3. In the comparison, you should show where Elixir stands out versus where it has disadvantages. It's useful for participants to know what is it they are signing up for if they decide to explore Elixir.
    4. While you talk about using Elixir to build a live game, can you also point to real-life solutions that have used Elixir? References will be useful for participants.
