About:
Erlang/OTP is a programming language designed for building highly scalable, fault-tolerant, and concurrent soft-real-time systems. It features built-in support for distribution, hot code swapping, and lightweight processes, making it ideal for server-side applications. This version 25.x provides a stable runtime environment for applications requiring high availability.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight concurrent processes managed by the VM
  • Built-in distribution and fault tolerance mechanisms
  • Hot code swapping allows updates without stopping the system
  • OTP framework provides reusable design patterns for robustness
Use Cases:
  • Developing high-availability telecommunication systems
  • Building distributed messaging servers and chat applications
  • Creating backend services for massive concurrency requirements
Alternatives:
  • elixir – Runs on the Erlang VM (BEAM) but offers modern Ruby-like syntax
  • go – Compiled language with simpler concurrency primitives, but lacks Erlang's hot swapping
