Irina Guberman
Principal Product Architect at Xaptum
Blindly passionate software engineer/architect since 1997 and an enlightened and happy software engineer/architect since around 2010. That's when Irina discovered Erlang and the BEAM, its amazing VM, while dealing with an enormous scale distributed web server in online targeted advertising space running on JVM. At that moment, she knew there was a BEAM of light at the end of that tunnel.

Unique resiliency of the Erlang VM, the BEAM and Erlang OTP
Demonstrate how unique features of the BEAM, Bogdan's/Bjorn's Erlang Abstract Machine, in combination with Eralng OTP can take your company's servers to the next level of resiliency and robustness. Irina will be doing some very cool demos (github repo revealed after the talk) and analyzing some key differences between the BEAM and JVM. Hopefully, JVM specialists will learn some interesting stuff not just about the BEAM but also about the JVM.
