What companies and start-ups depend on Elixir in production?
The need for developers to manage high-traffic systems means that adding Elixir to their programming stack makes sense. Elixir compiles to Erlang and inherits all of its advantages, for example performance, stability, concurrency, scalability and fault-tolerance. At Code Elixir LDN there is a mix of advanced and beginner talks. The 10 talks cover subjects like GraphQL, Invariants, pattern matching, view controllers, test driven macro development, long-term Elixir code management and discovering distributed systems. There will also be breakout sessions, talk to an expert sessions and networking opportunities throughout the day. Elixir has been much more widely adopted over the past couple of years and what follows is only a few of the many companies that now use Elixir in production right now

READ MOREKate Travers’ Journey from Art shipping to Elixir Senior Engineer
Kate is building ‘learn.co,’ a learning management system with added interactivity and community features. The system only needs one click to “Open IDE” and launch a functional development environment right in the browser. Flatiron are particularly excited about this feature because it allows students new to coding to get a taste of programming with real tools that developers use on the job. Unlike a REPL (a read-eval-print-loop) that executes a few lines of simple code, the IDE allows students to experience the more complex interaction between editing different files and executing them from a command line, all in browser.
READ MOREElixir powers first Car Share Service from Toyota
Toyota has just launched its first global car sharing platform, operated by Servco Pacific, Toyota’s distributor in Hawaii. The Hui service utilises Toyota’s proprietary global Mobility Service Platform (MSPF) which is built partly with Elixir. Toyota Connected and Servco developed the service together as one of the first public applications of MSPF, the core ecosystem for leveraging the potential of connected vehicle systems to support the development of new mobility businesses – such as car-sharing, ride-sharing and remote delivery.
READ MOREPC Member Bryan Hunt picks his personal talk highlights for Code BEAM STO 2018
Bryan hunt is on the Programme Committee for Code BEAM STO and has been involved with the open source community in various ways for the last 20 years. He is now leading Erlang Solutions' Riak support whilst being an advocate for Elixir and Erlang. In this article, Bryan gives his own personal list of talks he plans on attending at Code BEAM STO this year.
READ MOREFrom a web application to a distributed system
There is currently a lot of interest in how these problems are solved in the BEAM environment (using Actor model) and how some common patterns like Supervisor or GenServer are used in other languages or frameworks, Akka for example.
READ MOREWhy should Elixir developers get familiar with Erlang and the BEAM at Code BEAM STO?
Elixir, Erlang and LFE certainly have different features but they all share a foundation that carries the same ideas, techniques and patterns. Having familiarity with each technology is a major strength: it allows you to tap into a wider ecosystem and get the best out of every technology. Even if you end up using only one language in your day to day development, that knowledge will be useful in giving you more tools to reason with and to solve problems efficiently.
READ MOREWhy you should attend Code BEAMSTO and how to convince your boss?
Your manager may not immediately recognise the benefits of you attending Code BEAM STO, for both yourself and the business as a whole. There are over 40 talks this year, covering a broad mix of subjects and championing many new tools, techniques and time-saving implementations, revealed at Code BEAM STO first. There is no other conference that brings such a range of talks together.

READ MOREFighting Authoritarianism with Erlang, Blockchains and Blockweaves
Using Erlang’s process-centric approach enabled Sam and his team to quickly design and implement the Arweave network. A component of their approach was to build an extensive testing framework utilising Erlang’s message passing and lightweight threading model, simulating networks under realistic conditions on a vast scale.
