We're excited to announce our third Elixir Ruhr Meetup.
This time, we welcome Nick Duitz, Lead Elixir Developer at 9elements, who will talk about building high-performance sport app backends with Elixir.
What happens when hundreds of thousands of fans open the same app at kickoff? When a major soccer club launches a new fan app, the backend needs to handle massive traffic spikes, deliver real-time updates, and stay responsive when it matters most. Nick and his team recently built exactly that: the Elixir backend for the newly released app of Schalke 04.
In this talk, Nick will share what makes Elixir and the BEAM a natural fit for these kinds of challenges, and what architectural decisions helped along the way. Expect practical insights into scalability, performance, and lessons learned.
