BEAM in the Machine

In a world with container orchestration, is the BEAM relevant?

Cameron Price will be moderating a discussion between Chris Bell of Frame.io and David Antaramian of PepsiCo on the benefits and drawbacks of running BEAM applications in containers.

The discussion will touch on the following topic:

• Fault tolerance and failover
• Cost of development, operation, and maintenance
• Talent availability and cost
• Concurrency and performance costs
• Deployments and upgrade, including hot upgrades
• Code maintainability
• Platform independence
• Build consistency and environment parity
• Ecosystem, toolchain, and tooling
