Playtrip: a CQRS/ES Architecture in Erlang

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

A mobile app backend was built in Erlang using a CQRS (Command-Query Responsibility Segregation) and Event Sourcing architecture. The talk explains why this approach worked well and how CQRS/ES leverages Erlang-specific features—the Actor Model, lightweight processes, and built-in distributed capabilities—to implement the solution.
