Are they using microservices though? I think it's Elixir+Rust nifs and go/c++ for media. And we have zero informations on what the problem is.

  "Any sufficiently complicated concurrent program in another language contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Erlang." Akka, Microservices, half of Kubernetes... all are making similar observations and coming to different conclusions and/or battle plans based on the tools near at hand. But it's not like monoliths don't have huge, even bigger problems with action-at-a-distance. The problems that get you are a mix of simple human errors and subtle patterns of side effects that are difficult to spot or predict. Simple errors are easy to fix wherever. Emergent behavior is much harder to cope with.

    Elixir is a language on top of Erlang, if memory serves me, so yes, Erlang is in there :)

      Yeah, it is, and it’s at the top of my todo list.
