About This Podcast

BEAM There, Done That is a podcast about building real systems with Elixir, Erlang, and the BEAM. We’ve built it before — distributed systems, fault‑tolerant services, event pipelines, real‑time apps, production nightmares, and the supervision trees that saved them. Each episode dives into practical lessons from shipping software on the BEAM: architecture decisions, scaling challenges, operational failures, and the patterns that actually work. No hype. No theory without scars. Just hard‑won experience from engineers who’ve been there.
