Processes and Grains: A Journey in Orleans

Explore a conference talk that delves into the world of Orleans framework and its application in Erlang and Elixir programming. Learn how to simplify clustering and workload distribution by adopting Orleans concepts, potentially eliminating the need for complex orchestration code. Discover the parallels between Orleans and Erlang/OTP foundations, and gain insights into community goals for clustering and workload management. Examine existing and new library implementations, and discuss strategies for incorporating this new approach to workload orchestration. Ideal for developers responsible for applications modeling numerous concurrent entities, those seeking to enhance scalability and fault-tolerance, and programmers looking to streamline their code while maintaining desired application qualities. The talk includes a comprehensive demo and concludes with a Q&A session, offering practical insights for Erlang and Elixir developers working on interactive and data-intensive web applications.
