Erlang – Maxim Fedorov

erlperf 2.2 improvements

What’s the best way to demotivate an engineer? Request a written documentation. I have been procrastinating long enough, but late realisation came, I am repeating myself too often, explaining the same concepts. Instead of preemptively documenting and then referencing the documentation.

The Power of Erlang Tracing

Erlang VM provides outstanding observability. It takes just a few lines to question VM about any process it runs. It is safe and performant enough to be used in production, given due diligence.

Two major features available in the BEAM are sequential tracing (younger runtimes call that distributed tracing) and function call tracing. In this article I am going to talk about the latter.

erlperf 2.0: benchmarking Erlang code

What is faster in Erlang, maps or records? Should I use lists:filter or a list comprehension to remove odd elements from the list? How fast is my random number generator?

peer: distributed application testing

peer: a new module in OTP 25, designed to facilitate multi-node testing with Common Test.

Erlang distribution is one of the most important features of the VM and runtime. Transparent message exchange between processes running on different nodes is incredible. But how do I test it?
