The next PDX Erlang and Elixir Meetup is this Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at CrowdCompass.  Mexican food from Los Gorditos will be provided. Vegan and gluten free options available.  Email [email protected] if there is something specific you'd like to try from their menu (links at bottom).

There's still room on the agenda if you have something to discuss, otherwise we'll open it up for general discussion.  The agenda so far:

Stephen Peters will give a recap of his time at Erlang Factory in San Francisco earlier this month and possibly demo a new monitoring tool for the Erlang VM.

Daniel Hedlund will be giving a brief overview of erlank.mk, rebar and relx and how they fit into the Erlang app development ecosystem.  He will also present a bare bones cowboy app and go over each of its components, and how to pull in other dependencies like redis and json libraries.  The app will be made available on GitHub so you can clone and experiment after the meeting.

Hope to see everyone there!

Show what you're working on, point and laugh at what others are working on, or be more polite and offer constructive criticism.

Either way, join us this week and let's talk Erlang!

Have you heard of Phoenix? Phoenix is a framework for building HTML5 apps, API backends and distributed systems. Written in Elixir.

Seve Salazar of HouseHappy.org will walk us through creating a simple but real(wish)-world JSON API using Phoenix and deploying it to production as an OTP application. It will cover usage of Ecto, rendering JSON from a controller, integrating with StatsD using Exometer, and finally using edeliver to ship it to production.

Join John Blume from Pivotal to learn how existing applications can be modernized for the cloud by employing cloud-ready data management technologies, such as Apache Geode, which was built from the ground up on distributed, horizontally scalable (scale-out), shared-nothing architectural principles. When combined with the power of Spring running on Cloud Foundry, you have a recipe for protecting your existing investment while enabling you to leverage cloud-native design patterns that will move you towards the future.

Service gateways are a great new invention for improving the reliability and management of microservices. They provided nice features, like service monitoring, load balancing, creative routing, canarying, and fault injection. To learn more, join PJUG on Tuesday as Biju Kunjummen, from Pivotal, talks about service gateways, and about Netflix Zuul and the Spring Cloud Gateway in particular.
