37Signals Does Erlang

Hypothetical Labs - kevin - May 14, 2009

This is so juicy I couldn’t resist blogging about it. 37Signals sysadmin and my good friend Mark Imbriaco replaced the Campfire chat room handler, originally written in C, with an Erlang version. The results?

283. As in 283 lines of Erlang code in toto.

1500. The Erlang poller handles 1200 - 1500 requests per second.

2.8. Average request time in milliseconds.

240. Number of requests, in millions, served since it went into production last friday.

Go read Mark’s update and get all the details.
