How do you design the architecture of an Erlang/OTP-based distributed fault-tolerant multicore system?

Should I just start with a few gen_servers with a supervisor and incrementally build on that? You're missing one key component in Erlang architectures here: applications! (That is, the concept of OTP applications, not software applications). Think of applications as components. A component in your system solves a particular problem, is responsible for a coherent set of resources or abstract someth

What is the general approach to Erlang/OTP distributed fault-tolerant multiprocessors systems architecture? To summarize what's been said above: Divide your system into applications Put your processes in the correct supervision hierarchy, depending on their needs and dependencies Have a
