Monitoring and Pre-emptive support: The road to five nines with Erlang & Elixir
12:30/13:10
You’ve heard about systems achieving five nines availability with Erlang. That is 5.26 minutes of down time per year, software upgrades included. And we’ve been doing it at a fraction of the effort of conventional technologies. It does not happen on its own, however, just because you are using Erlang or Elixir and running them on the beam Virtual Machine. In this talk, we will cover approaches and best practices in systems which never stop, allow us to monitor them and practice pre-emptive support.
