This is a good place as any to ask: I'm an experienced Elixir dev so I know my way around Supervisors, GenServers, Registries, etc. but I feel there is more to OTP, the myriad of erlang modules for fault tolerance, which are not immediately visible unless you spend a lot of time reading the erlang docs.

Is there a good book that is focused on advanced OTP? On the internals of the BEAM and the hairier parts of the Erlang ecosystem? I can only find basic to intermediate introductory material. Perhaps I should just spend time reading the erlang website back-to-front...

1: I'm taking a small break from writing a parallel, distributed website crawler with homegrown HTTP client. Quite fun, very fast, to replace my first, rough prototype written in Rust. The hard part is accepting that most HTTP servers on the open Internet are hopelessly broken in a million ways.
