Building Performant Backends with Elixir

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08gK3wTaeHc

Do you write backends with slow, fully-interpreted experiences? Have you ever had your cluster of compute machines fall over, paying hand-over-fist to throw more machines at the cluster due to memory constraints? Have you ever been bored with purely object-oriented languages? Not only performant, Elixir/Erlang present a completely new way of thinking when building applications through the novel language characteristics. In this talk, we'll not only discuss the advantages/disadvantages of using Elixir, but we'll also walk through building our first web-server and integration with a web-frontend.
