Elixir gives you Ruby-like elegance with the power to develop bulletproof distributed server systems that can handle massive numbers of simultaneous clients and run with almost no downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eElixir in Action\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how to solve practical problems of scalability, concurrency, fault tolerance, and high availability using Elixir. You'll start with the language, learning basic constructs and building blocks. Then, you'll learn to think about problems using Elixir's functional programming mindset. With that solid foundation, you'll confidently explore Elixir's seamless integration with BEAM and Erlang's powerful OTP framework of battle-tested abstractions you can use immediately. Finally, the book provides guidance on how to distribute a system over multiple machines and control it in production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRequires no previous experience with Elixir, Erlang, or the OTP.
