Get ready for an action-packed, one-day conference, fused with a mix of talks on innovation and open-source applications based on Erlang, OTP, Elixir, LFE, BEAM and other emerging technologies! All this happens in the exciting city of Berlin, home to many startups and a city with amazing creative energy.

The conference is co-organised by Bitcrowd.

Bye Erlang Factory Lite! Hello Code BEAM Lite!

Welcome to Code BEAM Lite conferences (formerly known as the Erlang Factory Lite), which now belong to Code Sync family of tech conferences! The essence of the Code BEAM Lite conferences will build on the long-standing legacy of Erlang Factory Lite and will continue to bring together our community to share, learn and inspire. Check out past conferences by visiting our old website, but do come back here as we’ll be posting more details and the old website will fade away.

Schedule

Day 1 - 12 Oct 2018

Time	Main room
08.00 - 09.00	REGISTRATION
09.00 - 09.15	WELCOME
09.15 - 09.55	Natalia Chechina Main room Erlang scales robots Scaling robots reliably
10.00 - 10.40	Michal Muskala Main room Getting distributed with Firenest Learn about the Firenest project, the abstractions it provides, what it enables and how it's used within the Phoenix framework itself.
10.40 - 11.10	COFFEE BREAK
11.10 - 11.50	Lou Xun Main room Stateful property-based testing: with a game logic case study Going from TDD to stateful PBT, finding a concurrency bug (among many others) with it, and finally showing how to write one such test yourself. Intermediate
11.55 - 12.35	René Föhring Main room Inch: How Elixir 1.7 changed the rules for documentation analysis In most languages there are tools for testing and static analysis to identify code smells and refactoring opportunities. But for a long time there was no tool to help you figure out which parts of a codebase were lacking documentation the most. This talk covers how Inch filled that niche for hundreds of Elixir programmers, what’s unique about Elixir’s approach to docs as first class citizens and how the recent support for EEP 48 in Elixir 1.7 changed the rules for documentation analysis. Intermediate
12.40 - 13.00	Leandro Bighetti Main room How to teach Elixir to non-functional developers In this talk, Leandro will speak about efficient ways of teaching newcomers to the language: how to get people interested in the language, where people usually struggle and how to overcome these challenges. This will use Elixir as the basis language but will serve as a framework to generalise to other functional languages. Beginner
13.00 - 14.30	LUNCH
14.30 - 15.10	Karl Nilsson Main room Ra: a Raft implementation Intermediate
15.15 - 15.55	Devon Estes Main room Digging through the garbage The BEAM was designed to run on 1980's hardware and never crash. How does it manage to run for so long on machines with such little memory and still have such good soft-real time performance? This talk will explore the answer by looking at the basics of how the BEAM handles memory in processes and a bit about its very special garbage collection algorithm. Beginner
16.00 - 16.20	Andrey Chernykh Main room Structs for order Sometimes when Andrey looks at Elixir code written by Elixir-newcomers he notices that some of them avoid Structs. Maybe ‘avoid’ is the wrong word, but he sees a lack of Structs usage. Intermediate
16.20 - 16.50	COFFEE BREAK
16.50 - 17.30	Hubert Łępicki Main room Functional APIs with GraphQL & Elixir GraphQL is the next big thing in APIs development, and is slowly replacing RESTful based JSON APIs as a means of client-server communication. Elixir has excellent support for GraphQL in the form of the Absinthe library. Hubert will show us how to integrate GraphQL with Elixir, but also how to think about GraphQL resources in a functional manner. Intermediate
17.35 - 18.15	Tobias Pfeiffer Main room Your monolith, Elixir, and you Join Tobias on his tale of adopting Elixir and Phoenix and see what he learned, what he loved, and what bumps he hit along the road.
18.20 - 18.30	CLOSING NOTES
