Practical Robustness: Going Beyond Memory Safety in Rust

Andy Brinkmeyer shares how engineering leaders and architects can use Rust to build failure-proof systems. Moving beyond memory safety, he explains how ownership, enums, and the typestate pattern embed complex runtime protocols into compile-time checks. Learn to eliminate entire classes of bugs, manage real-world resources safely, and maximize codebase robustness effortlessly.

Accelerating Netflix Data: A Cross-Team Journey from Offline to Online

Raj Ummadisetty and Ken Kurzweil share Netflix's architectural pivot to CloudStream, a repeatable capture, conversion, and deployment framework. They discuss shifting key-value abstractions from stateless to stateful to move terabytes of bulk data safely. Software architects will learn to exploit data access patterns, use "Pathfinder" prototypes, and maintain a 99% faster rollout.

Formal Methods for Every Engineer in an AI-Powered Future

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Gabriela Moreira about making formal methods accessible through the Quint specification language, how AI is dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for formal specification and model-based testing, and why defining correct system behaviour remains essential human work in an AI-driven world.

Spite-Driven Engineering: A New Blueprint for Cloud Security in the AI Native Era

In this episode, Alex Zenla (CTO/Co-founder, Edera) challenges the "laissez-faire" attitude toward modern infrastructure. She promotes "spite-driven development", building software to solve genuine technical pain points rather than passively accepting flawed abstractions, as a philosophy of improving the world of software.

About the conference

The Erlang Factory is an event that focuses on Erlang - the computer language that was designed to support distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-realtime applications with requirements for high availability and high concurrency. The main part of the Factory is the conference - a two-day collection of focused subject tracks with an enormous opportunity to meet the best minds in Erlang and network with experts in all its uses and applications.
