Taming the Web with Cowboy & Coyote
summary
Claims that pure OTP applications can service web traffic by pairing cowboy with a library called Coyote and shows code that sends module bytecode across nodes to register routes, maintains a routing table (ETS-style) with node watching and re-registration, and implements a producer/consumer pattern that uses gen_stage for backpressure with a consumer supervisor that starts one process per request. A demo handles 100,000 generated requests while the site stays responsive; Coyote works but is presented as stabilizing rather than ready for every production use.
