Erlang Solutions: Let Your Database Update You with EctoWatch

Erlang Solutions: Comparing Elixir vs Java
After many years of active development using various languages, in the past months, I started learning Elixir.

Within Unix systems, a daemon is a long-running background process which does not directly interact with users. Many similar processes exist within a BEAM application.
