October 2025 Meetup

Elixir London Meetup; October 2025 edition. All are welcome.

Session 1: Lee Sigauke - What to look out for when designing concurrent systems (30 mins)
Practical experience is invaluable when building concurrent systems; but theory matters just as much, especially when problems don’t always reveal themselves, even under heavy load testing. Subtle issues like race conditions can lurk undetected until it’s too late. This talk highlights the most common pitfalls in concurrent system design and offers clear, general guidance on how to anticipate and avoid them.

Session 2: Evadne Wu - Bitstrings with Examples (20 mins)
In this talk Evadne will demonstrate both common and uncommon uses of the Bitstring syntax in Elixir, which is a powerful way to solve data structure and communication protocol problems in a clean and maintainable manner. Several examples will be shown during the session, drawing from documentation, open source libraries and custom implementations.

The event is kindly sponsored by Erlang Solutions.
