Abhay Kumar is a data junkie and software dude working in San
Francisco. He started experimenting with Erlang in 2007 and is
currently working at Powerset, where he has worked on the
Katamari/Fuzed project and contributed to Erlang-related open source
projects like erlectricity. He also has written extensions for the
Mochiweb web server that have been integrated into other projects and
written a custom attacking agent in Erlang that leverages Amazon EC2
for load testing services by generating DDoS attack-like loads.

Building Reliable Distributed Heterogenous Services with Katamari/Fuzed
>
Erlang is a powerful language for distributed computation, but most
modern production software is written in a variety of languages that
are not as suited to reliable, distributed programing. At Powerset, we
developed a platform for reliable distributed computing that leveraged
the Erlang Ports infrastrcutre to make the robustness and flexibility
of Erlang-based networked infrastructure to a variety of language
runtimes, without onerous cross-porting work. From that base, we
extended our system to support heterogenous networks of services which
can be added or removed in real time without interrupting existing
services, using a simple model akin to an erlang event loop to talk
with external code.
