A (very) brief history of Erlang
Posted on August 1, 2025, Level beginner Resource Length medium
I first encountered Erlang in 2017 while working with RabbitMQ, a message broker built on Erlang. Its ability to handle high concurrency, fault tolerance, and real-time execution made it ideal for our ETL process. Erlang was born at Ericsson in 1986 to power telecom systems demanding "nine-nines" availability (99.9999999% uptime). Open-sourced in 1998, it gained traction beyond telecom, influencing modern messaging apps like WhatsApp and Discord. By James Seconde.
