Mnesia and Postgres
Financial systems present a particularly difficult problem in terms of scalability because by implication you have shared data. The presentation focuses on how we at PMT achieve scalability and redundancy using a combination of Mnesia, PostgreSQL and Oracle Hardware.
We will look at how we at PMT
