Build Stuff'16 Lithuania

I’ll talk about scalability and fault tolerance features of distributed Erlang. In particular, what makes it so good for large scale distributed applications on commodity hardware, where devices are inherently non-reliable and can disappear and re-appear at any moment.

The talk is based on experience of leading research on developing Scalable Distributed Erlang (SD Erlang -- a small extension of Erlang for distributed scalability) and integrating Erlang in robotics. So, I’ll share rationale behind design decisions for SD Erlang, lessons learned, advantages, limitations, and plans for the further development. And talk about benefits of Erlang in distributed robotics, initial findings, and plans.

How can we use what we have learned in the web stack to iterate faster in the world of IoT?
 

Which tools are available today to go from idea to deployed product in much faster iterations than before. To get prototypes out the door faster and get feedback to iterate again. Have a look at Open-Hardware, Open-Source, 3D printing, Erlang (Old New), Elixir, Nerves, and how you can use them all together to prototype and build faster.
