Andrea Leopardi - Concurrent and Resilient Connections to Outside the BEAM (ElixirConfEU 2016)

Slides and more info: In Elixir applications, there's often the need to have persistent connections to external services such as TCP connections to database servers. In this talk, we'll explore how to build such connections in a way that takes advantage of some of Elixir's most appreciated features: concurrency and resiliency. We'll see how to make such connections concurrent, e.g., making them asynchronous or using pooling, and how to make them resil
