Zotonic: Erlang for the Web
summary
Zotonic is an open-source Erlang web framework and CMS that claims rapid development for content-heavy sites by combining controllerless routing, powerful templates and tight JavaScript integration via MQTT/WebSockets. It uses Postgres with a graph-like abstraction, ETS-style in-memory caching and built-in LetsEncrypt HTTPS. Recent work targets a 1.0 stable break, migrating to Cowboy, switching many strings to binaries for performance, adding a template compiler, Dockerized dev flow, monthly minor releases (16 so far) and about 50 sites running in production.
