Building Fault-Tolerant Invoice Settlement Systems: The Elixir Way — OTP Makes It Simple — Part 3

Distributed System, Elixir, Go / Yatender Singh

Why Elixir Changes Everything Before we dive into code, let’s understand what makes Elixir fundamentally different. While Go makes you build reliability mechanisms manually, Elixir was born from the Erlang ecosystem — designed for telecommunications systems that needed 99.9999999% uptime (that’s 31 milliseconds of downtime per year). The Erlang/OTP philosophy is simple: “Let it crash,

Demystifying distributed tracing in Elixir via Open-Telemetry, Zipkin, and Elastic Search

Elixir / Yatender Singh

Today we are going to discuss a very important topic when we come to discuss microservices architecture, i.e. Distributed tracing across the system when we have so many small applications running and each application has one or many microservices. In this kind of architecture, there are applications talking to each other and passing data around.
