   anyone know of any good resources for writing a distributed system in elixir?

     @shibao ooo that looks fun! I'm only looking at elixir rn but since I can use erlang through elixir it looks rlly useful

     @pounce I would be interested in these alternatives but default BEAM probably works for now then.

     I would like to learn about where to find these alternatives

     @pry how distributed? erlang/BEAM's built in process system is very nice, and scales pretty well, but starts to run into issues around 100 nodes, from what i can tell
     i've read some papers on alternative frameworks that run on BEAM that let you distribute further, with fewer guarantees; if you would like some pointers

     @shibao @pounce so I've heard of unikernels before and stuff like mirage... how would this help w distribution?

     ig theres some way of using unikernels in a way that gives you some of the underlying things that would help w distributing an elixir program like naming and routing?

     @shibao oh that's interesting... are there any unikernel projects that look interesting to you? I haven't actually heard of any open source off the shelf solution besides mirage

     @shibao I'm not going to worry about it for the time being since the BEAM and otp will be more than enough for what I'm wanting to mess around with
