https://gleam.run/ Gleam is super promising.

We've been running a large web application backend written in Elixir for over three years now. It's awesome and we've also rewritten some of our microservices to utilize Distributed Erlang. No need for a service mesh this way. :-)

We deploy Erlang VMs to EC2 and they communicate just fine. Deploying via a Dockerfile and `mix release` has been a breeze.

As a bonus point, no real need for container orchestration as the BEAM just figures it out.

Hmm. Please could you explain further? I'm genuinely curious what costs you associate with Hashicorp products.

Comment · 4 years ago

We use Nomad from Hashicorp, it's super simple. Never liked the complexity K8s brings along.

Congratulations on launching!

How does this compare to Fantastical? It does the same for me, just puts a giant Zoom icon next to its menubar icon and clicking on it lets me join my next meeting.

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" is a book I buy for every person for their first birthday after I met them. It is the book that has had the most profound impact on me thus far.
