Reimagining Computing with FLAME on the BEAM

In this talk, Jason Stiebs presents an in-depth tutorial on FLAME, a new tool designed to leverage the capabilities of the BEAM, the Erlang VM. He discusses the history of FLAME, touching upon its inspirations from older technologies, and how it enables developers to think differently about distributed computing. Stiebs emphasizes that FLAME is not just another function-as-a-service but a means to execute your own code across multiple machines effortlessly. He provides a detailed walkthrough of the features FLAME offers, including the seamless deployment and scaling of applications. The presentation includes practical examples, demonstrations, and insights into how FLAME simplifies distributed computing challenges, making it accessible to developers of all skill levels.
