Moving from Ruby to Elixir is more than a syntax change. It is a new way of thinking about software. From object oriented patterns to functional design, and from managing concurrency to having it built in, the shift can transform how systems are built and scaled.

Pagers and WhatsApp have no place in patient critical communication. 📱 We helped build Pando to give healthcare professionals a secure, reliable way to communicate instead. That's the kind of problem we can solve in the healthcare space. erlang-solutions.com/industr…

In her latest blog post, Lorena Mireles asks what BEAM developers already know that helps with agentic workflows. Chapter 1 looks at state, GenServers and event sourcing. 💬 erlang-solutions.com/blog/ex…

Museums and galleries have a trust problem when it comes to AI. Get an answer wrong and visitor confidence drops fast. 🏛️ Tourio is our AI-powered visitor guide, built for exactly this challenge. It delivers real-time, language-localised answers grounded in content the institution controls, cutting the risk of hallucinations whilst keeping every answer accurate and on-brand. It works how visitors already do. Through an existing app, via WhatsApp, in a browser, or as a fully custom build. No extra downloads, no friction. Institutions keep full control over the knowledge base, get a searchable audit trail, and benefit from accessibility features like speech-to-text built in.

Scanning the Erlang/OTP codebase with agentic AI turned up around 20 previously unknown, potentially severe security vulnerabilities. 📊 Alongside that, roughly 400 critical or high severity findings, and close to 4,000 in total, many of them low-severity issues that had simply never been noticed before. As Lukas Backström, Senior Software Developer at Erlang Solutions, put it: ''Agentic AI helped surface issues at a scale manual review couldn't reach, but experienced engineering judgement remained essential to separate genuine findings from false positives.'' ✅ erlang-solutions.com/case-st…

That's wrap on Code BEAM Europe. 🎉 A big shout out to our five speakers: Kamila, Hernán, Lukas, Robert and Spoorthy for sharing their knowledge and expertise with the BEAM community. 🎤 Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand. We loved the conversations about what you are building. 🤝 And a final thank you to the @CodeBEAMio team for organising another excellent event. 👏 See you next time. 👋

"Let it crash" works, right up until it doesn't. Spoorthy Sridhara is on Track 2 with 'Self-Healing Systems and When They Fail'. Possibly the most honest title of the conference. #CodeBEAM #OTP

In track 2 Spoorthy Sridhara is presenting "Self-Healing Systems and When They Fail". 🎤 A system that restarts is not always a system that recovers. Spoorthy shows how to design supervisor trees that recover with state preserved. 🌳 Then comes the harder part. ETS table bloat, message queue floods and cascading timeout storms are failures OTP does not catch on its own. ⚠️ Expect monitoring and architectural patterns, drawn from real production experience. 🛠️

Up next on stage from the Erlang Solutions team is Lukas Backström and his talk "Exploring Doctests in Erlang". 🎤 Doctests have long been part of Elixir. Now Erlang has them too, through the new ct_doctests module. 📚 Lukas will run through how to use it, what it can do and the benefits. He also shows features Erlang has that Elixir does not have yet. 🧪

Live now at Code BEAM Europe: Robert Fiko is presenting "Same Runtime, Different Language: Adapting SAFE for Gleam". 🎤 SAFE is our static analysis security tool. Adapting it from Erlang and Elixir to Gleam was harder than we expected. 🔐 Same runtime does not mean same analysability. Robert explains why, with a live demo of SAFE in action. 💻 @CodeBEAMio

Day two of Code BEAM Europe is underway! 🙌 We've got a trio of speakers taking to the stage today, so make sure you join them! After lunch at 14:20 we have Robert Fiko delivering his session 'Same Runtime, Different Language: Adapting SAFE for Gleam' ➡️ codebeameurope.com/participa… And to round out at 14:50, Lukas Backström will be Exploring Doctests in Erlang ➡️ codebeameurope.com/talks/exp… At 15:40, Spoorthy Sridhara will be sharing her insights with her talk 'Self-Healing Systems and When They Fail' ➡️ codebeameurope.com/participa… Make sure to join us at the Trifork booth to talk all things BEAM and take our quiz! 👀 @CodeBEAMio

Kamila Pokój, our Senior Marketing Manager, is on stage at Code BEAM Europe 2026 right now. 🎤 As part of the Erlang Solutions marketing team and the Gleam Core Team, she knows how hard it is to get a technical project the attention it deserves. Her talk, Reverse Engineering Marketing for Devs, shows how to use your experience as a developer on the receiving end of marketing to reach the right people. Without being annoying about it. 👏

Code BEAM Europe is on, thanks to our sponsors. Platinum: @ErlangSolutions, @EMQTech, @CloudAMQP. Diversity & Inclusion: @AppSignal. Gold: Seventh State, Trifork. Lanyard: @9elements. Student tickets: @TheErlef. Partner: @ahrefs. #CodeBEAM

Our very own Hernán is leading his "Supervisors Gone Rogue" session at Code BEAM Europe 2026! 🎮 It is a co-op top-down shooter built in Elixir. The supervisors have gone haywire and keep restarting the enemies you are trying to kill. 🔁 Grab a laptop, phone or controller and join in at the informal zone. 🙌

Just a reminder, we've got a super quartet of speakers who will be sharing their knowledge and insights over the next two days! ⤵️ Make sure you find their talks in the schedule and join them!

Good morning from Code BEAM Europe 2026! 👋 The stages are set, the venue is starting to fill up and we're excited to spend the next two days talking all things BEAM! 🙌

On Sunday, colleagues from Erlang Solutions and Trifork UK walked 13 miles along the Thames Path in memory of Mark Cowan. Together, we have raised £850 for Prostate Cancer Research. Thank you to everyone who walked, donated and shared Mark’s story. Mark was determined to raise awareness of prostate cancer. It is the most common cancer in men, and early detection saves lives. If you have any concerns, speak to your GP. You can still donate, here: justgiving.com/page/joanna-g…
