Talk 1: Using OTP / Presence to Power Real-Time Analytics
In this talk, we explore using the core features of Erlang’s OTP and Phoenix to manage large real-time data sets across many channel topics. We’ll be taking a closer look at Phoenix Presence, Channels, and the PubSub layer for our WebSocket delivery and using DynamicSupervisors, Supervisors, GenServer workers, Process Monitors, and globally registered processes to manage channel subscriptions across nodes.
About the Speakers
Jacqui Manzi is a Software Engineer at Mux. Her primary focus is the API to the client browser and she's spent a lot of time thinking about solutions for coordinating and displaying large real-time data sets to a wide audience in performant and scalable ways.
Matt McClure is Co-founder of Mux and organizer of the Demuxed conference.
------------
Talk 2: Take your Time
OTP20 officially introduced dirty schedulers. In this talk, we'll cover why they're part of OTP and what function they perform. Using Rust NIFs, we'll compare schedulers and dirty schedulers to illustrate the trade-offs between scheduler types. By the talk's end, it should be apparent why dirty schedulers are part of OTP and how and when you should consider using them.
About the Speaker
Ben Marx is the software architect at Bleacher Report, co-author of Adopting Elixir and co-organizer of the Erlang Elixir meet up in San Francisco. In his free time, he's also programming in Rust, playing guitar, and building guitar pedals.
