I saw a tweet advising that the Erlang/OTP homepage had been re-written.
This shot from the Wayback Machine, dated October 11, 2011, Erlang/OTP homepage 2011, is how I remember the old homepage.
Today, the page seems a bit deep to me but includes details like the top three reasons to use Erlang/OTP for a cluster system (C/S):
- Cost cheaper to use an open source C/S than write or rent one
- Speed To Market quicker to use an C/S than write one
- Availability and Reliability Erlang/OTP systems have been measured at 99.9999999% uptime (31ms a year downtime) (emphasis added)
That would be a good question to ask at the next big data conference: What is the measured reliability of system X?
