Most great Erlang resources, like this and Designing for Scalability, are very much recommended for Elixir programmers. It'd be a shame for them to disregard some of the best OTP resources just because they're in Erlang.
- s_kilk 9y agoJust a quick +1 for "Designing for Scalability", as an avid Elixir programmer. It's a great book on the Erlang/OTP fundamentals which underlie Elixir and Phoenix.
- polack 9y agoI'm going to go against the stream an say -1 on "Designing for Scalability". Not that it isn't a good book, but the title doesn't really reflect the contents. It's more of a beginners book on Erlang/OTP than of scalability.
- derefr 9y agoDo you have a recommendation for a more advanced book on that particular topic? I'd also love to see something from the other angle: taking a program that's already an instantiation of a complex, distributed architecture, written in e.g. C, and then rewriting it in idiomatic Erlang (or Elixir—especially with GenStage/Flow stuff) to reduce its code size while retaining the same distributed-system properties as its ancestor system.
