Performance Benchmarking of Distributed Elixir Nodes

Razvan Draghici delivered a presentation focused on benchmarking the performance of distributed Erlang when connecting a large number of Elixir nodes, notably more than 200. He aimed to explore the effects of node quantity on overall mesh network performance through easy-to-understand examples. This involved addressing how the number of nodes impacts the speed at which other nodes join the network and the efficiency of message passing between nodes. The presentation also covered various network topologies for handling numerous nodes and introduced an alternative to Distributed Erlang called Partisan, which may solve issues that arise with large-scale node setups. Razvan tested distributed networks' limits by experimenting with connections, message passing, and stability, providing insights into scaling distributed Erlang systems and implementing Partisan for better scalability and message deliverability.
