Talk objectives:

- Briefly survey the challenges faced when implementing new code alongside existing systems
- Profile the system design, and architectural implementation of a complex erlang application
- Understand the tradeoffs and design decisions inherent in creating complex service frameworks

Target audience:

Erlang/Elixir developers of all skill levels who are interested in the architecture, design, and deployment of enterprise erlang applications including walkthroughs of portions of relevant code, where appropriate.
