Infinum Server-Side Talks #9

After an extended break we’re back with another edition of Server-Side Talks!
This time Saša Jurić is back to speak about simplifying systems with Elixir, and Stanko Krtalić Rusendić will give a talk on Kubernetes. As both speakers are making repeat appearances, you may have already listened to one of their talks and you know that you are in for a treat. If not, you will just have to trust us :)
Either way, make good use of Wednesday, 13 March, and join us on the 13th floor :)

Simplifying Systems with Elixir
Saša Jurić
-> Elixir is often described as a language which offers great support for massive concurrency. First-hand reports cite the ease of handling millions of connected users, sub-millisecond response times, and superb fault-tolerance. These are all great benefits, but we’re left wondering whether Elixir is useful only for large-scale systems, or can it bring some benefits in the simpler cases too?
This talk aims to demonstrate that Elixir is also a great choice for building smaller systems. Using some real-life examples from my own experience, I’ll explain how using Elixir can help simplify the system architecture, and lead to a more homogeneous solution. The talk targets backend developers who are new to Elixir. After the talk, the audience will have a clearer idea about what makes Elixir attractive, and why they should consider using it to build their next backend system.

Intro to Kubernetes
Stanko Krtalić Rusendić
-> This talk will introduce you to Kubernetes, the problems that this system solves and what benefits it provides, with the aim of bringing the system closer to the audience.

See you all soon!
