slide 31 / video min 16:07
------------------------------
Global SMS: 20 bn messages a day
WhatsApp: 30 bn messages a day.
(with just 40 engineers)
------------------------------
should be refactored:
------------------------------
Global SMS: 20 bn messages a day
(10.000 Engineers using C/C++/Java - just guessing)
WhatsApp: 30 bn messages a day
(with just 40 engineers using Erlang)

- blackRust 11y agoTwo things that are very wrong with this: 1. WhatsApp is dependant on cellular infrastructure which you count into your 10k engineers. 2. "Erlang was designed with the aim of improving the development of telephony applications."[1] So it powers/powered a large part of the cellular infrastructure.
