I hesitate using Erlang/elixir for this than aws lambda + event distribution. Any thoughts?
- vikiomega9 10y agoIsn't aws lambda better suited for short running tasks?
- dfischer 10y agoWhat's a long running task?
- vikiomega9 10y agoI think heuristic is running time of about 5 or 10 minutes.
- abritinthebay 10y agoIf you don't need low latency and are ok with the extra architectural overhead... there's nothing wrong with that. Different use cases
- dfischer 10y agoMany are preaching erlang/elixir on the OTP/microservice alternative paradigm – that doesn't seem as attractive as the low latency resiliency. At least to me, as a story.
- abritinthebay 10y agoWell... it's a win for both. It means it's easy to write performant and highly concurrent microservices. Latency is part of that.
