Andrea Leopardi Concurrent and Resilient Connections to Outside the BEAM ( Elixir Conf EU 2016)

Slides and more info: In Elixir applications, there s often the need to have persistent connections to external services such as TCP connections to database servers. In this talk, we ll explore how to build such connections in a way that takes advantage of some of Elixir s most appreciated features: concurrency and resiliency. We ll see how to make such connections concurrent, e. g., making them asynchronous or using pooling, and how to make them resil
