Web Apps in Erlang Are Actually Simple
summary
Demonstrates building web apps with the Nova framework by showing actual routing, security hooks, a plugin system that runs before controllers, and handler modules that render JSON or HTML; each HTTP request runs in its own lightweight BEAM process for crash isolation and concurrency. Shows controller config and bundle options, how to enable authentication in web.config, and a one-command bootstrap (nova new project) that creates a skeleton app used in production for telecom services.
