Erlang And The Six Laws Of Fault Tolerance
Fault Tolerance is baked into the very genes of Erlang/OTP – something that ends up being amazingly useful when you are building any kind of system. Remember, your clients and co-workers will find new ways to break things, ways that you could never have imagined in your wildest dreams. This is the reason to use Erlang.
Once you get it, it completely changes the way you approach development, and you will find yourself writing "erlang" in whatever language you happen to be using.
In this presentation, Mahesh will dive into Buddha-nature of Erlang/OTP, pointing out how the various features of the language tie together into one seamless Fault Tolerant whole.
The six laws of fault tolerance covered:
- Concurrency
- Error Encapsulation
- Fault Detection
- Fault Identification
- Code Upgrade
- Stable Storage
