Erlang is famous for its use in mission critical, highly concurrent applications like Ericsson's AXD301, which achieved an unbelievable nine nines uptime! What makes Erlang so suited for building fault tolerance systems? In this talk, Erlang expert Garrett Smith will dissect Erlang's design and discuss the principles of reliability. He'll cover language features, the Erlang virtual machine, and application architecture to give you an understanding of what makes Erlang tick and how you can apply the same principles to software you build in other languages.
