2. 1. Why Erlang?
● concurrency
● distributed
● fault-tolerance
2. Are you kidding me?
● 10 times faster than PHP
● c10k, 1000msg/sec, 24hours, 78Mb
3. Database-driven website.

3. Concurrency
Concurrency for our
web applications and
API backends means
that we'd like our
htop look like this

4. Concurrency
Erlang is easy capable of spawning hundreds of
thousands of processes on a single system running
on commodity hard-ware.

5. Distributed
You can have a number of machines across
net-work happily chatting with another.

6. Distributed
Process communication by copying
Location transparency (clustering)

11. Fault-tolerance

12. Are you kidding me?
“With PHP
framework you
typically see page
generation times
between 150 and
600 milliseconds.
Zotonic has a typical
page generation time
of 10 milliseconds or
less.”
How about you,
Chicago Boss?
