Pilgrim's Progress to the Promised Land
summary
Migrating to Elixir/OTP surfaces concrete pitfalls and remedies: design for millions of lightweight processes with isolated state and asynchronous messages, use OTP supervisors (often expressible as OTP supervisors in one page) and plan error policies up front so the system attains five nines reliability, avoid macros unless a function cannot do the job, and use runtime introspection like observer and dbg tracing tools (plus Recon/Redbugger or Wombat OAM) and polyglot bridges (JInterface, Erjang, Purelang) to integrate heavy computation or legacy code.
