I think most folks are finding that distribution in an erlang based application is a lot simpler, because you don't need to pull in things like redis for pubsub, memcached for caching, etc etc. erlang solves a bunch of problems in a rather elegant way that are solved in the java/python/ruby world through gobs of duct tape.
- davidw 10y agoGood point, but I'd see the actual codebase on a single node as the most important thing for most people. Even with Rails you can do a lot with one server.
- Scarbutt 10y agoPerformance wise, I wouldn't put Java next to ruby and python, in what workload would the erlang vm beat the jvm?
- rozap 10y agoI'm talking more about concurrency and distribution models, not raw performance.
- felixgallo 10y agolow jitter, low latency, high concurrency workloads.
