https://2023.elixirconf.com/presenters#speaker-razvan-draghici-elixirconf-us-2023 Explore and benchmark the performance of distributed Erlang when connecting a large amount of Elixir nodes (200+). I plan to explore how increasing the number of connected nodes affects the performance of the whole mesh network using simple to understand examples and answer questions like: how is the total number of nodes affecting the speed at which other nodes can join or the performance of message passing between nodes? The talk will explore different network topologies that can help with a large number of nodes (such as not connecting all the nodes together in a mesh) and also show an alternative to Distributed Erlang called Partisan and how that can help with some of the problems facing large number of node setups.
