How Discord Scaled Elixir to 5M Concurrent Users
I know that the JVM is a modern marvel of software engineering, so I&#x27;m always surprised when my Erlang apps consume less than 10MB of RAM, start up nearly instantaneously, respond to HTTP requests in less than 10ms and run forever, while my Java apps take 2 minutes to start up, have several hundred millisecond HTTP response latency and horde memory. Granted, it&#x27;s more an issue with Spring than with Java, and Parallel Universe&#x27;s Quasar is basically OTP for Java, so I know logically that Java is basically a superset of Erlang at this point, but perhaps there&#x27;s an element of &quot;less is more&quot; going on here.<p>Also, we&#x27;re looking for Erlang folks with payments experience.<p>cGF0cmljaytobkBmaW5peHBheW1lbnRzLmNvbQ==
