: ERLANG IN YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE
Erlang has not gained a huge following as a programming language but it is being used to build scalable chunks of infrastructure. From messaging to queues to document databases, Erlang is increasingly providing the service backbone for applications written in a variety of languages on top of it. Even if you code in Java, Ruby, Javascript or C# you may be relying on Erlang to provide reliability, distributed services and huge lightweight concurrency.
The use of different languages to solve different problem spaces has also given rise to the need to create lightweight platform and language data exchange formats, the most famous of which is JSON but includes Apache Thrift and Protocol Buffers.
So whatever you program in you should known what Erlang can do for you.
Tonight's talks will include a talk by Alexis Richardson, Mike Bridgen and Matthias Radestock about RabbitMQ the AMQP implementation in Erlang. Oscar Hellstrom and Tamas Nagy will be talking about XMPP and ejabberd.
- AMQP - what, why, how, and why not
- RabbitMQ is made of erlang inside
- CouchDB and RabbitMQ use case
- XMPP and Jabber
- Applied ejabberd, a demo of two applications that using Erlang and Jabber
This Geek Night is being held in conjunction with the London Erlang User Group.
Tuesday 12th May 2009
Track 1
TAMAS NAGY
: In this talk, Tamas introduces Erlang and how it can be used within web applications. In order to illustrate this, Tamas explains the XMPP protocol that is extremely easy to use within erlang. One implementation of the XMPP protocol is Ejabberd which currently holds 40% market share among public XMPP domains. View the podcast here...
MAGNUS HENOCH - TFL JOUNEY ANGEL
: Following on from the talk by Tamas on using Erlang within your infrastructure, Magnus presents this introduction to the TFL Journey Angel project. Although the project didn’t get past the prototype stage it is a good illustration of what Erlang View the podcast here...
TONY GARNOCK-JONES-RABBITMQ INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE
: Following on from Alexis’ talk giving an introduction to RabbitMQ, Tony attempts to explain something of the internal architecture of RabbitMQ. Along with this he also tries to explain how RabbitMQ can be used in federation and in achieving redundancy for high availability View the podcast here...
ALEXIS RICHARDSON - INTRODUCTION TO RABBITMQ
: In this talk Alexis introduces RabbitMQ, “An open source message broker that just works.” Alexis explains the main reasons why you might need a message broker: View the podcast here...
MIKE BRIDGEN - APPLICATION OF RABBITMQ
: In this talk Mike illustrates how RabbitMQ can be used within a real world application. Mike is working on an application to integrate the feeds that are used within the BBC website View the podcast here...
