OTP at the Jedi Temple

If you've heard of Erlang, perhaps you've also seen the acronym "OTP". What the heck is "OTP" and why do the Jedi refer to it as the "magic" that gives Erlang it's reputation for scalability and fault tolerance?

Why is it called Erlang/OTP? What gives? How does this relate to Elixir? What should I know about it?
