Alvaro Videla is Giving the Following Talks
Integrating Erlang with PHP
What could happen if we mix Erlang, a language that is ideal for high concurrency and parallelism, with PHP, the most popular web development Language? In this talk I will present a C extension that let us use PHP as an Erlang C node to communicate directly with Erlang to do such things as:
- Query Mnesia
- Administer RabbitMQ
- Use Erlang as the Session storage backend for PHP.
- Run map/reduce jobs in Erlang and get the results back in PHP
