This is a great write-up. I love reading stuff like this, and Erlang/OTP/Kafka is definitely on my list of tech to investigate.
Slightly tangential, but what's the market like for Erlang developers? I know that its was originally developed for telecoms and phone switches, and Whatsapp use (used?) it in their back-end. Are there particular business sectors that tend to use it now? Geographical spread, perm/contract, salaries, etc?
- davydog187 4y agoErlang developers specifically seem to be slightly Euro-centric. Whatsapp is still built on Erlang. I’m not sure of the job market for it specifically, but if you’re looking for any BEAM job, there’s a growing demand for Elixir developers that pay quite well internationally.
- nijave 4y agoI still hear Exilir/Phoenix getting tossed around at some startups in the U.S. Locally, CoverMyMeds (at least used to) have a decent amount of Erlang. I think there's a few big OSS projects, RabbitMQ being the first that comes to mind
