Back to BEAM School

Hello BEAMers,

After a short(ish) summer break we're back to BEAM school in September! Hope all of you had a great summer and ready for some Erlang & Elixir talks.

This month we'll be in Workday's (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Workday/@53.3478343,-6.2776673,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x48670c292581fddd:0x3c0551bb091102f0!8m2!3d53.3478343!4d-6.2754786?hl=en) great meetup space - thanks for sponsoring us!

Building the largest payment sandbox on a tiny machine by Máté Marjai (https://twitter.com/marjaimate)

Building concurrent apps is never easy. And when it is to do with payments, complexity and the stakes rises massively. We have designed and built a universal payment sandbox (maybe better to be called an omni-sandbox) which tech teams can use for the integration work, ongoing QA and CI workflows. And on top of this, allowing teams to load test their payment channels for real. No more shortcuts, real metrics on how your software works under load, with an important 3rd party (mock) dependency.

With the talk, we'd wish to present the system we've designed and built with a mix of Erlang and Elixir. The system is designed to handle surge of traffic (for load testing) and accurately simulate everyday payment scenarios.

Tianyi will guide us through the latest changes in Phoenix 1.3 - and not just the infamous directory switch! He will show us a real application he developed at startup weekend as an example.
