Robert Carbone has always had an affinity for keyboards - acoustic & digital. Fluent in music theory, graphic design and armed with a Masters of Accountancy, his passion lies in the valuation of intangibles, more specifically, analyzing & graphically representing them in conceptual frameworks.
His journey to develop wearable tech led him to Erlang, GUI programming, Distributed Applications & Databases(particularly Riak). When he isn’t being an evangelist for Erlang or coding, you will find him longboarding around a city, snagging a disc(frisbee) or composing, at a keyboard.
This talk will be a heavy “lift” as we delve into the integration of two titans of the BEAM ecosystem: OpenRiak, a highly scalable distributed NoSQL database built in Erlang (and a new initiative of the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation), and the Phoenix Framework, a powerful web development framework in Elixir. We’ll focus on how to leverage OpenRiak’s strengths, such as high availability & support for unstructured data in order to complement Phoenix.
The session will cover practical ways to get started, illuminate full-stack challenges and resolutions, and reveal high-level strategies for success.
Our journey will take the form of a guided tour through a series of conceptual frameworks, building toward a little-known crown jewel of category theory—one that may even unify our entire BEAM ecosystem.
This talk is designed for developers and architects eager to elevate their skills and tooling while harnessing the synergy of Phoenix and OpenRiak. Whether you’re new to the BEAM ecosystem and seeking guidance or a veteran looking to deepen your expertise, this session will provide foundational understanding and empower you to build more scalable, resilient systems.
