- dazuma 9y agoWe're not doing anything special to help set up distributed Erlang at the moment. It would probably be difficult with App Engine because it's designed to manage stateless containers. But I could imagine setting up such a network with Kubernetes Engine, or definitely with Compute Engine VMs.
- sb8244 9y agoAt elixir ATL meetup we setup an elixir app on GKE and connected the nodes via peerage in under 2 hours. Definitely possible!
- brightball 9y agoHow often do y’all meet up? I’m in Greenville SC but I could see a road trip happening periodically with the Upstate Elixir group.
- sb8244 9y agoIt's once per month. https://www.meetup.com/atlantaelixir/ https://www.meetup.com/atlantaelixir/ It's a pretty small group right now. I'm hoping that a new venue and push will help bring in more people.
- chingor13 9y agoIt currently doesn't do automated clustering of nodes out of the box. It should be possible to build a clustering strategy for libcluster (https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster) for App Engine. Note that there's already a kubernetes strategy which could run on the Google Kubernetes Engine.
- etxm 9y agoI’ve used peerage (https://github.com/mrluc/peerage https://github.com/mrluc/peerage) on kubernetes for SD. It’s simple to set up and works in dev/test using its local adapters. Libcluster looks good too. Everything bitwalker touches seems to be solid AF.
- jesses 9y agoI can't speak to GCP much, but gigalixir.com is a platform-as-a-service that takes advantage of Erlang's distributed network/nodes. I'm the founder.
